LIVERPOOL KEEN ON PSG WINGER BARCOLA, SAYS JOURNALIST

Liverpool have expressed interest in signing Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, according to claims made by a football journalist. The journalist stated that Liverpool sources had confirmed to him the club's admiration for Barcola. Liverpool's interest follows their pursuit of RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande, who opted to join PSG instead. The Reds are one of several clubs reported to be targeting the French winger.

Barcola completed the 2023-24 season with PSG, recording 13 goals and seven assists across 49 competitive matches. He won the Champions League for a second consecutive season with the French club. Competition for starting positions under manager Luis Enrique has affected Barcola's guaranteed game time. The 23-year-old has also represented France internationally, scoring twice and providing one assist at the World Cup.

Liverpool's managerial change this summer saw Arne Slot depart and Andoni Iraola arrive. Mohamed Salah's contract with the club expired, prompting the Reds to assess attacking options in the transfer window. The journalist reported that Liverpool's long-standing admiration for Barcola continues as they assess potential signings ahead of the new season.
