Overview
- Reports on Saturday say Liverpool and Paris Saint‑Germain have an agreement in principle for Barcola with a core package widely cited as £106m plus £17m in add‑ons and that the 23‑year‑old is due to travel to England for an imminent medical.
- Some outlets quote different totals — including a €140m package or an extra payment to Lyon that could lift Liverpool’s outlay to about £128m — reflecting disagreement over whether add‑ons and training‑club liabilities are included.
- Barcola is reported to be set to sign a long‑term deal, commonly described as five years, but the transfer remains subject to the player passing a medical, completion of paperwork and formal registration before the window closes.
- Liverpool continue to pursue other wide forwards and face selection decisions if Barcola arrives, with Cody Gakpo’s future unresolved amid reported interest from Tottenham and Manchester City.
- The move follows PSG’s summer reshuffle and a previously higher valuation for Barcola, and if completed it would be among Liverpool’s most expensive signings and reshape their attack in the final days of the transfer window.
