Liverpool could be readying one of the biggest transfers this summer after a brilliant forward took steps in the right direction.
TeamTalk reports that Bradley Barcola’s agents are sounding interesting in the forward right now. There has been plenty of speculation over the France star’s future at Paris Saint-Germain.
Barcola, after all, hasn’t played as often as he would like. That’s been true for a couple of years now but particularly in this campaign, with just 18 Ligue 1 starts heading his way.
It’s a situation that could get worse, too. PSG are linked with interest in Yan Diomande – someone who would further limit Barcola’s starts in Paris.
Enter Liverpool, then. The Reds are in the market for a new left winger and Anfield Watch understands that they view Barcola as a real opportunity.
That seems to be the case, with Barcola taking a step towards some sort of move this summer with his agents reaching out to potential suitors. Liverpool will be one of those and if he truly is available this summer, expect the Reds to be right in the mix.
Bradley Barcola: Situation Summary
PSG Performance and Stats
As of 4 May 2026, Bradley Barcola is enjoying a highly productive third season at Paris Saint-Germain. The 23-year-old winger has recorded 12 goals and five assists across 44 appearances in all competitions, including 10 goals in Ligue 1. He has been particularly influential in PSG's Champions League campaign, scoring critical goals in both legs of the round-of-16 tie against Chelsea and providing an assist in the quarter-final against Liverpool. Most recently, he played the full 90 minutes in a 2–2 draw with Lorient on 2 May, maintaining an average FotMob rating of 7.41 for the season.
Transfer Speculation and Liverpool Links
Barcola has emerged as a primary target for Liverpool as they prepare for life after Mohamed Salah. Reports from 1 May 2026 indicate that the Reds are weighing up a summer swoop, potentially holding an advantage if PSG’s ongoing contract negotiations with the Frenchman reach an impasse. While PSG are eager to make Barcola’s renewal a priority, Liverpool could offer guaranteed starting minutes on the right flank.
International Standing
With 18 senior caps and three goals for France, Barcola has established himself as the frontrunner to start on the left wing for Didier Deschamps at the 2026 World Cup. Despite missing a US tour in March due to a severe ankle sprain, his domestic form has made him a "certainty" for the squad heading to North America this June.
