Barcola joins Liverpool from PSG in £123m move

Liverpool has finalized the acquisition of French forward Bradley Barcola from Paris St-Germain for a fee of up to £123 million. The 23-year-old signed a five-year contract with the English club, who will pay an initial £106 million plus £17 million in potential add-ons. Barcola, who will wear the number 29 shirt at Anfield, expressed his excitement about joining the club and his ambition to win the Premier League, become a long-term fixture in the team, and achieve significant success.

Last season, Barcola scored 13 goals and provided seven assists in 49 games for PSG, showcasing his goal-scoring ability and playmaking skills. He also contributed to France's performance at the 2026 World Cup, appearing in all eight matches and scoring three goals. Barcola joined PSG from Lyon in 2023 for a reported £38.5 million, having won three Ligue 1 titles, two Champions Leagues, and various other accolades with the French club.

The signing of Barcola brings depth to Liverpool's squad, following the departures of Mohamed Salah, Hugo Ekitike, and the potential sale of Cody Gakpo.
