Barcola becomes Liverpool's second-most expensive signing
Liverpool have completed the signing of France winger Bradley Barcola from Paris St-Germain for a reported £123m, with the 23-year-old signing a five-year contract at Anfield.
French winger Bradley Barcola has joined Liverpool from Paris Saint-Germain for a reported £124 million, making him the club's second-most expensive signing. The fee is the highest ever paid for a Ligue 1 player and the 10th £100 million-plus transfer in Premier League history. Barcola, 23, is Liverpool's third forward costing over £100 million in the past two years, following Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz.
He has yet to play for PSG this season, amid transfer speculation. Barcola, who signed a long-term deal, expressed his happiness at joining Liverpool and his desire to win the Premier League. He scored 39 goals in 152 appearances for PSG, including three goals for France during their World Cup run. Liverpool has targeted Barcola to strengthen their attack since the departure of Mohamed Salah.
He is expected to play on the left wing, possibly replacing Cody Gakpo. Barcola is also reunited with former PSG teammate Hugo Ekitike, who is recovering from a ruptured Achilles tendon.
