Liverpool finalize deal to sign Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain
Liverpool have reached an agreement to sign 23-year-old French forward Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain. The transfer involves a base fee of 125 million euros, which could rise to 145 million euros with performance-related bonuses. This figure ties the record for the most expensive signing in Liverpool's history, alongside the deal for Alexander Isak. Negotiations were spearheaded by sporting director Richard Hughes and Fenway Sports Group president Mike Gordon, with the player expressing a clear intent to move to Anfield.
Barcola, who has two years remaining on his contract with PSG, is set to sign a five-year deal with the English club. He is expected to travel to England to undergo mandatory medical and physical examinations immediately. His arrival is viewed as a strategic move to reinforce Liverpool's attacking line, following the departure of Mohamed Salah. Over three seasons with the Parisian club, Barcola made 152 appearances, recording 39 goals and 37 assists while securing 13 trophies. The move marks a significant investment for the Reds as they finalize administrative details before an official announcement.
