After Wirtz: Liverpool Want to Sign £100m+ Champions League Winner

Liverpool's potential pursuit of Bradley Barcola could significantly impact sports betting, particularly as they aim to compete with Bayern Munich for the forward's services. Given PSG's valuation of Barcola at around £100m, this move could prompt punters to consider Liverpool's transfer market strategies and overall season performance, especially if they successfully bolster their attacking options.

Liverpool are targeting a surprise summer move for Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola, journalist Dan King has claimed. The Premier League champions are looking to splash out on another attacker amid their pursuit of Bayer Leverkusen star Florian Wirtz, and have reportedly identified Barcola as a winger option. Liverpool are said to be prepared to battle Bayern Munich for the 22-year-old forward, who is no longer guaranteed a starting spot in PSG’s first XI following Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s arrival in January. Barcola also started on the bench in last month’s Champions League final against Inter Milan, before coming on in the 67th minute and assisting Senny Mayulu’s goal in the 5–0 win.

Liverpool Keen on Bradley Barcola According to King, PSG value Barcola at around £100m this summer, which would represent another big-money move for Liverpool in the transfer market. The Reds are now close to breaking the British transfer record for 'unstoppable' Wirtz, who will cost in the region of £127m, and have also spent significantly on his teammate Jeremie Frimpong. Another £40m is earmarked for Bournemouth defender Milos Kerkez, who is believed to have already agreed personal terms over his switch to Anfield. Liverpool could raise funds for further reinforcements by offloading striker Darwin Nunez, who has suitors in the Saudi Pro League and is expected to depart this summer.

GIVEMESPORT Key Statistic: Barcola has scored 21 goals and provided 19 assists in 58 appearances for PSG this season.

The ‘unstoppable’ Frenchman has amassed 97 appearances for the Parisians to date and has a contract running until June 2028.
