Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola has been linked with a move to Liverpool this summer, and journalist David Ornstein has dropped a new update. The Reds have suffered a blow with the news that reported leading wide target Yan Diomande is likely to join PSG instead, but journalist Ben Jacobs has named other options being looked at, saying: “As I revealed, three other targets are Mathias Fernandez Pardo, who’s also at the World Cup, Said El Mala, who has had other Premier League interest this window, and Brighton’s Yankuba Mintah.

I think it’s fair to say they’re actively working on those alternatives simply because it gives you leverage in the market as well.” Barcola is another name who has been thrown into the mix for Liverpool, and The Athletic‘s Ornstein has now provided the latest on the Frenchman’s situation. He claims that the winger “appears reluctant to sign a new deal amid lower game-time than he would like and he is pushing for more starts”, while PSG feel the “speculated market rate” for him is “way off and he should be valued at a much higher price than the £116m Manchester City will pay for Elliot Anderson.” Can Bradley Barcola fill Mo Salah-shaped void at Liverpool?

But look at the pass from Barcola, he’s developing into one of the best wingers in the world before our very eyes.” Barcola is at his best on the left-hand side, however, like new Liverpool signing Victor Munoz, which is a slight drawback as they look to replace the legendary Mohamed Salah. He has accumulated over 30,000 followers on Twitter/X.
