Liverpool's interest in Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola has been the subject of considerable transfer speculation this summer. The 22-year-old French international, known primarily as a left-winger, impressed last season with 21 goals and 21 assists in 64 appearances for PSG.

Liverpool’s sporting director Richard Hughes is reportedly a "big fan" of Barcola and sees him as the club’s first-choice target to strengthen their left flank. Despite this interest and British media reports suggesting Liverpool could offer around £100m (€114.4m, $134.4m) for the winger, sources close to PSG indicate that Barcola wants to remain at the French club, which is not looking to sell him. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has also personally blocked potential bids, including from Bayern Munich, making a sale highly unlikely.

The Reds’ pursuit coincides with other key transfer targets, such as Real Madrid’s Rodrygo and potential Juventus midfielders, but Barcola remains a prime focus. Liverpool have also shown interest in players like Alexander Isak and are managing squad departures carefully. However, the consensus from French and European media is that Barcola will stay with PSG this summer as part of their long-term project.

Overall, while Liverpool maintain a strong admiration and ongoing interest in Bradley Barcola, PSG’s firm stance and the player’s preference to stay at the Parc des Princes significantly reduce the chances of a move happening in this transfer window.
