Liverpool's pursuit of Bradley Barcola looks set to step up over the coming weeks of the summer transfer window, with reports claiming that talks have opened on a club-to-club level for a deal. Timing has seemingly been key to any approach for the France international, who saw his season extended by a deep run at the World Cup with his national team.

Combine his need for a break with a final decision that needed to be made over his future at PSG, as he enters the final two years under contract, and it was clear that Liverpool had to wait for a moment to strike.

It remains to be seen how things will progress in those talks, with PSG likely to maximize the winger's value while he still has two years remaining on his contract in the French capital. That said, the club will be keen to get a deal done quickly, especially as pre-season training is now starting to ramp up for Iraola and his team ahead of the new Premier League season.
