  "account": "Paris Saint-Germain may be considering reducing their £145 million asking price for Bradley Barcola, potentially allowing Liverpool to secure the France winger, according to a transfer insider. The 23-year-old winger has attracted significant interest from Liverpool throughout the summer, with reports suggesting the two clubs are in daily negotiations for a potential move to Anfield. However, the issue of Barcola's price tag has been a significant obstacle in the talks between the two parties. As the transfer deadline of September 1st approaches, it appears that Liverpool's interest in Barcola has given PSG's financial demands some wiggle room. A transfer insider has revealed that the price could be lowered to £125 million, potentially setting a new Premier League record for the fee paid by Liverpool. This price reduction could be seen as a huge boost for Liverpool in their pursuit of Barcola, as the fee is close to the record £125 million spent on Alexander Isak. With the addition of Ferran Torres, whom Liverpool has confirmed will join the club, it seems unlikely that the Reds would be willing to pay the full £125 million for Barcola. However, if they are determined to secure the winger, they may be willing to make a lower offer to PSG, especially after the signing of World Cup goalscorer Luis Suarez.",
