Fabrizio Romano has again reinforced his ‘information’ that Bradley Barcola remains Liverpool’s undisputed primary target for the summer transfer window.The Italian has reiterated on multiple occasions in recent weeks that the Paris Saint-Germain attacker is at the head of the Reds’ wish list, and there were reports over the past few days that Anfield chiefs are preparing an offer in the region of £85m for the France international.DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL EMPIRE OF THE KOP APP FOR ALL THE LATEST & BREAKING UPDATES – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!

I know many of you doubt my information because maybe the information is not everywhere, and so many of you say, ‘Ah, but it’s impossible. Ah, but it’s not going to happen.’“I don’t know if it’s going to be possible financially, but what I can tell you is that, for sure, Liverpool remain super keen on Bradley Barcola.”Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
