Liverpool are plotting a major attacking overhaul this summer, and Bradley Barcola has emerged as a top target — with the PSG winger himself reportedly ‘extremely keen’ on making the move to Anfield.
French outlet Le10 Sport claims the Reds have rekindled their interest in the 23-year-old, having tracked him since last year when he ultimately stayed in Paris hoping for more regular game time. That gamble hasn’t paid off, and Barcola is now expected to leave Parc des Princes following the World Cup.
Impressive Numbers Despite A Bit-Part Role
Despite playing second fiddle at PSG for much of the campaign, Barcola has still managed 12 goals and seven assists across all competitions — numbers that would represent a solid return for most wingers operating as a first-choice starter. Transfermarkt values him at £60 million, which could represent genuine value given his age and upside.
Why Liverpool Need Him
Cody Gakpo has struggled to nail down the left wing berth convincingly this season, and a proven upgrade feels necessary heading into 2026/27. Barcola fits the profile perfectly — a dynamic, direct winger with sharp decision-making, excellent dribbling ability, and the work rate to press effectively and track back, qualities Arne Slot demands from his wide players.
Verdict
Liverpool shouldn’t drag their feet on this one. A strong World Cup could see Barcola’s price spike significantly, making early movement essential. If the mutual interest is genuine, the Reds must act decisively to land one of Europe’s most exciting young wingers.
