Reports indicate that Arsenal “could aggressively enter the conversation” for Bradley Barcola amid slow negotiations between PSG and Liverpool. However, if Mikel Arteta can get a player like Bradley Barcola, who is verging on world-class himself, suddenly Arsenal becomes unassailable in England as they seek to defend their Premier League crown.

Liverpool must NOT allow Arsenal to hijack a deal for Bradley Barcola Liverpool are trying to pressure PSG into accepting a lower fee for Barcola, but the Ligue 1 club is yet to cede to their efforts. (@KM_243_) August 23, 2026 According to a report from Mark Brus for Caught Offside, “Arsenal could come back into the conversation for Bradley Barcola as I’m told Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain remain far apart in terms of his transfer fee.

Liverpool, by contrast, view Barcola as being worth £120m maximum. “Arsenal haven’t completely gone away, and could aggressively enter the conversation again if it becomes clear this deal is really stalling.” “Barcola is open to joining LFC and personal terms shouldn’t be an issue, but I’m told that he could also be open to Arsenal, with the 23-year-old likely to be tempted by the prospect of living in London.” Michael first started supporting Liverpool after Istanbul in 2006.
