Liverpool could finally find a breakthrough in their chase for a new elite winger next week after Paris Saint-Germain signalled their readiness to move on from Bradley Barcola.The Reds have been in discussions over Barcola, but have so far understandably been unwilling to meet their 170 millions Euros asking price.Though there is a gap in valuation, a deal has always felt possible, and as journalist Fabrizio Romano revealed in the early hours of Saturday morning, PSG are now moving forward in a deal to sign Ajax’s Mika Godts, who can certainly be seen as a direct replacement for Barcola. “Now it’s on the clubs, they are already in negotiations.”Photo by Rico Brouwer/Soccrates/Getty ImagesREAD MORE: Andoni Iraola sounds like he wants a four-man Liverpool attack featuring Bradley Barcola and Florian WirtzAs Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri reiterated, Godts is a direct replacement for Barcola, with PSG getting their ducks in a row before selling the Frenchman to Liverpool.“Mika Godts is a PURE left winger.
