Liverpool agree deal to sign Bradley Barcola from PSG

sportsAug 29, 202665557

Liverpool have agreed a deal worth up to 9123m to sign 23-year-old France forward Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain, with an initial 9106m fee plus 917m in add-ons. Barcola is expected to undergo a medical this weekend before signing a long-term contract at Anfield and prefers to play on the left wing, though he can also play on the right or through the middle. His arrival increases uncertainty over Cody Gakpo's future; manager Andoni Iraola said he "cannot guarantee anything" but wants to keep the 27-year-old. Liverpool remain in the market for a right winger, having explored moves for Yankuba Minteh and Ismaila Sarr. Barcola moved from Lyon to PSG in 2023 for a reported 938.5m and has won multiple domestic and European trophies with PSG according to reports. PSG initially valued Barcola at 9145m, so the agreed package would be a record fee for a player leaving Ligue 1 and represents a substantial profit for PSG if add-ons are met. Barcola could also provide cover for Alexander Isak while Hugo Ekitike recovers from a serious Achilles injury.

🚨 Liverpool complete agreement with Paris Saint-Germain to sign Bradley Barcola. Deal for 23yo #PSG winger worth £106m + up to £17m add-ons (€125m + €20m package). France int’l poised to do medical in next 24hr & join #LFC on 5yr contract 🚨 @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/754...

Olympique Lyon get any % of that? 🤔

Cette somme est folle, mais Barcola a du talent à revendre.

Quoting this

Las cifras del fútbol actual, sobre todo en la Premier, son un sinsentido. Siendo Barcola un buen futbolista, hace 4 o 5 años este mismo traspaso entre estos dos clubes habría salido en torno a los 40-50 millones.

Where did this come from? Brilliant work by Hughes and team to keep this under wraps.

Medical still to go, but wonder will we see him in the Anfield stands today?

This is pretty close to what PSG’s top expectation for the fee was, in my opinion. They were never aiming for 170 million euros. I really don’t understand why Liverpool have bought him for that fee considering all their weaknesses.

Absolutely raging we might not sign Mbaye, who i have never seen play before #LFC

There was Thierry Henry. There is Kylian Mbappe. Bradley Barcola will be.

Fingers crossed. I'm not hopeful this season but 'mon the Reds.

I opted for caffeine, but I'll probably try to go back to sleep for a nap after the game.

It’s great to have a Liverpool match starting at 9.30pm instead of stupid o’clock, makes for a nice change. Up the fucken Reds! ✊🏻 #LFC

Bit early here in Ontario 🥱 Up at 06:30 for the pre game show.

Liverpool still pursuing Sarr despite Barcola signing, as they want three in (with at least one to go) De Zerbi insistent on Gakpo for Spurs www.independent.co.uk/sport/footba...

@kerryi.bsky.social

3rd kit is here and I love it ❤️ #LFC #Redsky #YNWA

@djstaffs1.bsky.social

What I want to see at ft today is a bunch of happy reds, a bunch of sad scabs and Glasner and Marinakis having a straightener on the touchline 🤌 #lfc

@dklfc.bsky.social

I'm hoping the quiet on this Barcola deal is Liverpool and PSG sorting Mbaye too. I'm not very knowledgeable on Mbaye but I watched the friendly against United and he was brilliant. Very 2 footed, fast and he scored. So that's what I'm hoping anyway 😂 4 days left, no pressure 😬 #lfc

Harvey’s gone. Love him, wish him all the best. And I hope there is lots to come from him. For the club though, uh, we’re rapidly running out of bodies to shove into kits and cleats. We do know we need to field at least 11, yeah? #LFC
