Why Liverpool are ready to make Barcola third £100m signing
With Liverpool prepared to make Bradley Barcola their third £100m signing, BBC Sport looks at what the France and Paris St-Germain winger would bring to Anfield.
Liverpool, who finished fifth in the Premier League last season, are reportedly set to pay around £100m for Paris St-Germain winger Bradley Barcola. The Reds have already paid more than £100m for players Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak in the past. Barcola, a 23-year-old talented winger who was part of France's World Cup squad, could be the perfect fit for Liverpool's attack.
He has already scored 11 goals from 28 appearances for France and has a history of high shot activity and goal conversion rates in Ligue 1. Despite the competition from PSG's other wingers, Barcola's unique skill set and playing style make him a valuable addition to Liverpool's squad. His potential transfer could further strengthen their attack after the departure of Mohamed Salah and provide more playing time for Cody Gakpo, who has been linked with a move to Tottenham.
