- Liverpool lead race for PSG’s Bradley Barcola as winger gives transfer green light and prioritises Anfield move | OneFootball

Bradley Barcola is open to moving to Liverpool this summer with the Reds leading the race to sign the Paris Saint-Germain winger.

Liverpool are exploring a deal to sign Barcola as the club look improve their forward line in the current transfer window.

The France international is weighing an exit from PSG this summer, after struggling for a prominent role last season. Barcola did not start a game from the quarter-finals onwards as PSG secured a second straightChampions League title.

Fabrizio Romano is reporting that Liverpool lead the race for Barcola and have been active in their pursuit of the player since April.

The 23-year-old is open to the move and is giving preference to Liverpool, with Arsenal having pivoted towards Vinicius Junior, having previously monitored Barcola's situation.

Liverpool are awaiting Paris Saint-Germain's demands for a deal, with the French champions valuing Barcola highly. He has scored 37 goals in 105 games for PSG over the last two seasons as the Parisians have won a wealth of honours.

Liverpool are determined to bring in a versatile forward to combat the loss of Mohamed Salah and Hugo Ekitike. Salah departed Anfield by mutual consent this summer, while Ekitike is sidelined until 2027 with a ruptured Achilles tendon.

Though he has featured predominantly from the left in Paris, Barcola has operated right across a front three.
