The 23-year-old Barcola, who scored 39 goals in 152 appearances during his time at PSG, joined for a fee that is the highest paid for a Ligue 1 player. Liverpool's signing of Barcola is the third forward costing over £100 million that the club has acquired in two years. The winger, who joined from Lyon for £38.6 million in 2023, expressed his excitement about joining Liverpool and his desire to win the Premier League. Barcola is expected to bolster the team's attacking options after the departure of Mohamed Salah.",
