Liverpool are reigniting their interest in Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola amid difficulties in securing Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak, who remains their primary target for this transfer window. With their bid for Isak reportedly rejected, the Liverpool management is now seriously considering Barcola as an alternative attacking reinforcement.

Barcola, 22 years old, impressed last season with PSG by scoring 17 goals and providing 14 assists across all competitions, but competition for places in PSG's squad may see him look for opportunities elsewhere. Liverpool sees him as a potential addition to boost their attacking options, especially after recent departures of several forwards from the squad.

The Reds are expected to spend heavily this summer, having already closed in on a club-record signing with Florian Wirtz. Barcola's transfer valuation is around £100 million, which is considered relatively reasonable compared to other targets like Alexander Isak, who could command a fee as high as £150 million, potentially putting him out of Liverpool’s reach.

Both Liverpool and Bayern Munich are competing to sign Barcola, signaling a battle for the young winger's services. Although some fans and commentators express mixed feelings about Barcola's style and effectiveness, his statistical output at PSG indicates significant attacking potential that Liverpool aims to harness.

Liverpool’s renewed focus on Barcola aligns with the club's urgent need to replenish attacking depth due to recent player exits and stalled negotiations for other targets. Alongside Barcola, Real Madrid’s Rodrygo is also mentioned as a potential alternative should Liverpool miss out on Isak.
