Bradley Barcola has signaled the possibility of leaving PSG to join Liverpool. In the January transfer window, Liverpool were disappointed when their long-standing target, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, moved to Paris Saint-Germain instead.
Anfield Watch has revealed that Liverpool aimed to secure a deal for the Georgian player but struggled to offload Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, which they had hoped to do before signing Kvaratskhelia.
Ultimately, the former Napoli winger decided not to wait any longer and agreed to join PSG, who had been heavily pursuing his signing.
As reported exclusively by Anfield Watch, Liverpool continues to search for a left-winger, particularly as they plan to move on from Nunez and Diaz in the summer transfer window.
The left-winger in question could be a Paris Saint-Germain player, Bradley Barcola, who has been affected by the arrival of Kvaratskhelia.
Barcola signals openness to Liverpool move
Liverpool closely tracked Barcola during his time at Lyon before his transfer to PSG, a detail confirmed by Fabrizio Romano. He fits the Reds’ ideal player profile—strong in one-on-one situations and known for his hard work off the ball.
Liverpool are in search of players who excel in tight areas and can take on defenders to break down opposition defenses and create space for teammates. Barcola fits this mold perfectly, and with Kvaratskhelia’s arrival and PSG’s intent to add more attacking options this summer, he appears to be weighing up his future.
According to L’Équipe, Barcola has been in contract talks with PSG for several months but has yet to decide on an extension. The report states he’s uncertain about renewing and plans to wait until the end of the season to assess the level of competition he’ll face, especially with PSG also showing interest in Maghnes Akliouche.
Barcola’s uncertainty about signing a new deal naturally shifts focus toward possible exits from Paris, potentially giving Liverpool the chance to step in and secure his signature. It’s a move that aligns well with their needs and could even pave the way for a potential swap deal.
Anfield Watch exclusively reported that Paris Saint-Germain are interested in Ibrahima Konate, who is currently stalling on signing a contract extension with Liverpool.
If the French defender declines to extend his contract by the summer—when only a year remains on his deal—Liverpool may be wise to consider replacing him and potentially including him in a deal to acquire Barcola.
