Mohamed Salah left the club at the end of the 2025/26 campaign after a glorious nine-season spell on Merseyside and his departure has to be addressed.While Barcola plays on the other wing, he ticks all the boxes when it comes to a marquee attacker to try and help deal with Salah's exit. He has shone throughout his time at the Parc des Princes and caught the eye during this summer's World Cup.If the 23-year-old does arrive, it will comes as a massive boost for two of Iraola's players.

He is at his best when working in cohesion with wingers much like his connection with Anthony Gordon while on Tyneside.If Barcola joins the Reds, it could breathe new life into Isak. He will be relishing a player of the Frenchman's calibre joining him in attack.Loser: Rio NgumohaJamie Carragher recently insisted Liverpool didn't need to sign Barcola and should instead target a Salah replacement on the right wing.

You could argue that Rio Ngumoha deserves to take the left-wing position but at just 17 years of age, he's still developing.That said, his pathway to a regular starting role could be blocked if Barcola joins. And the PSG star is still relatively young which could be a real issue in the long run for the England international.While his future definitely isn't in doubt, his chances of earning a starting berth in Iraola's team will be.
