Liverpool sign France forward Barcola from PSG
Liverpool have secured French winger Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain in a £106 million deal, including add-ons. The 23-year-old has signed a five-year contract, wearing the number 29 shirt. Barcola, who scored 39 goals in 152 appearances for PSG since joining from Lyon in 2023, brings a new attacking dimension to Arne Slot’s squad.
Liverpool aims to strengthen the forward line following a difficult start to the Premier League season, as Mohamed Salah departed at the end of last year. The French winger's development at Lyon provided a strong foundation for his rise to top European football. Negotiations with PSG initially rejected an £90 million offer, with talks eventually reaching a fee of £145 million.
Barcola is expected to primarily play on the left wing, replacing Cody Gakpo who has been linked with a potential move to Manchester City. His arrival includes a trophy-laden résumé, with two Champions League titles, three Ligue 1 crowns, and two Coupe de France trophies to his name. Liverpool hopes Barcola can make an immediate impact and help the club reclaim its position at the top of the Premier League and European football.
