Iraola, hints at Barcola's debut for Liverpool
Liverpool’s marquee summer signing Bradley Barcola could be in line to make his Premier League debut against Ipswich Town on Friday, with manager Andoni Iraola hinting that the France international is ready to feature for the Reds.
Liverpool's summer transfer window saw Richard Hughes buy players for a staggering €99 million, despite only making one sale. The club's failure to sell several senior players, including Curtis Jones for just £30 million, cost them heavily. According to the Expected Transfer Valuation model, Liverpool lost an estimated €99 million due to poor sales decisions this summer.
The loss was most significant with the free transfers of Mohamed Salah, Ibrahima Konate, and Andrew Robertson, as well as the loan move of Harvey Elliott. Selling Federico Chiesa and Wataru Endo would have freed up over €200,000-per-week in wages, providing much-needed financial relief for the club.
