Aragtida Taageerayaasha
John wuxuu yiri: "Truly flabbergasted at his price. Not denying his quality and potential but when you hear Vinicius Jr is valued at £137m you have to give your head a scratch.". Stu wuxuu carrabka ku dhufaday inuusan u qalmin £100m.
Andrew wuxuu yiri: "Ridiculous amount of money. Can Barcola actually last a full 90 minutes? He seemed to be subbed between 60 and 70 mins. I hope that proves to be wrong if we buy him.". Paul wuxuu doonayaa difaac adag.
Liverpool are ready to pay around £100m for France winger Bradley Barcola, though Paris St-Germain are holding out for a figure near £145m as the Reds look to strengthen their attack after Mohamed Salah's departure.
Liverpool's Growing Spending Ambitions
The Reds have already broken the £100m barrier twice, paying £125m for Alexander Isak from Newcastle in September and potentially £116m for Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen. Liverpool finished fifth in the Premier League last season, 25 points behind champions Arsenal, prompting a clear need for reinforcements.
Barcola, 23, has become a primary target after PSG's insistence on a £145m fee. The club's recruitment team are understood to admire his profile, especially as they look to build an attack capable of competing at the highest level under new manager Andoni Iraola.
Barcola's Proven Track Record and Stats
The France international has won three Ligue 1 titles, the French Cup twice, the Uefa Super Cup and the Fifa Intercontinental Cup since joining PSG from Lyon in 2023 for £38.5m. He came on as a second-half substitute in both the past two Champions League finals, including PSG's 5-0 victory over Inter Milan and their penalty shootout win against Arsenal.
Opta's player similarity model rates Barcola as the winger whose output most closely resembled Luis Diaz's across Europe's top five leagues in 2025-26 (78%). He averaged 3.5 shots per 90 minutes in Ligue 1, with a 9.83 expected goals total that ranked in the 95th percentile among wingers.
Fan Reactions to the Reported Fee
Supporter John said: 'Truly flabbergasted at his price. Not denying his quality and potential but when you hear Vinicius Jr is valued at £137m you have to give your head a scratch.' Meanwhile, Lee added: 'He's proved his worth. A big signing for the new manager makes sense, get the season started with a buzz.'
Others remain cautious. Stu argued: 'Barcola would be a good signing but he's not worth anywhere near £100m, never mind £145m. He's a squad player at PSG. If they won't accept £70m max then move on to someone else.' Andrew questioned: 'Ridiculous amount of money. Can Barcola actually last a full 90 minutes? He seemed to be subbed between 60 and 70 mins.'
