Liverpool add PSG winger Bradley Barcola to their January transfer list
Liverpool are pivoting swiftly in their search for attacking reinforcements, with Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola emerging as a prime alternative target if the move for Antoine Semenyo prove elusive.
The 23-year-old French international known for his pace, dribbling flair, and ability to cut inside from the right has caught Arne Slot's eye as a potential long-term successor or rotational option amid uncertainties around Mohamed Salah's future and the Egyptian's current AFCON commitments.
Liverpool have conducted background scouting on Barcola for some time and recent reports suggest the Reds are prepared to invest significantly if the opportunity arises, though PSG remain reluctant to part with one of their valued assets mid-season (his contract runs until 2028, and Luis Enrique rates him highly despite rotation in a stacked attack).
Barcola himself has set a clear condition for any move: guarantees of regular first-team minutes to support his ambitions with France and his career progression. This stance puts pressure on potential suitors like Liverpool, who must balance squad harmony with promising him a prominent role.
Competition is fierce, Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and others are monitoring the situation but Liverpool's recruitment team, led by Richard Hughes, appears confident in their ability to convince if they push forward. A January deal looks challenging given PSG's stance, making a more realistic summer 2026 swoop the likelier scenario.
We watch for developments as the window opens. Barcola could prove a statement signing if Liverpool go all-in. 🔴
