Liverpool’s search for attacking reinforcements has taken a fresh twist, with Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola emerging as a genuine priority target for the club.

According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Barcola remains high on Liverpool’s list as they look to reshape their forward line ahead of next season.

The Reds have held an interest in the France international since the summer of 2025, making this a long-standing pursuit rather than a reactive move.

Liverpool have already suffered a significant blow in their pursuit of RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, who reportedly prefers a move to PSG despite Liverpool making a substantial offer.

TalkSPORT reported that Diomande’s preference for Paris has effectively ended Liverpool’s chances of securing the winger, leaving a noticeable gap in their attacking recruitment plans.

The situation surrounding Barcola could shift considerably depending on how PSG’s own summer window develops in the coming weeks.

Romano has indicated that if both Diomande and Maghnes Akliouche complete moves to PSG, Barcola’s future at the club could be called into question amid increased competition for places.

PSG are already considered well-stocked in wide attacking areas, and the arrival of two more forwards could push Barcola further down the pecking order.

Liverpool’s need for a wide forward has become even more pressing following Mohamed Salah’s departure, which left a void that the club has been working to fill all summer.

Barcola represents an exciting option, offering pace, directness and the ability to take on defenders in one-on-one situations with real confidence and quality.

The Liverpool Offside has also noted Liverpool’s growing interest in Barcola following Diomande’s clear preference for a return to French football with PSG.

At this stage, there is no agreement in place between Liverpool and PSG, and any deal would hinge on the French champions deciding they are willing to allow Barcola to leave.

PSG are unlikely to sanction a departure on the cheap, and Liverpool will need to balance their desire to act quickly with the risk of overpaying following the Diomande frustration.

Barcola may not immediately replicate Salah’s remarkable goal output, but his pace, unpredictability and long-term potential make him a compelling candidate for Liverpool’s rebuild.

Still young enough to develop further, yet experienced enough to contribute immediately at the highest level, Barcola ticks several important boxes for what Liverpool require this summer.
