The two deals are interlinked, and once Godts is secured, Liverpool's pursuit of Barcola becomes more feasible. TeamTalk claims that Liverpool value the deal at around £100 million, while PSG believes they could reach an agreement for a package closer to £125 million. This gap may seem large, but it is a standard negotiation tactic, and both sides are open to compromise. Barcola's transfer hinges on PSG's ability to secure Godts, as he is seen as his replacement.
