Liverpool's pursuit of a new winger, following Mohamed Salah's departure, has been well documented and felt protracted. As reported by Fabrizio Romano on Sunday morning, Bradley Barcola "will not" sign a new contract at Paris Saint-Germain.

Romano adds that Liverpool have the French international "top of their list" when it comes to new attacking signings, so could this decision force PSG's hand? This news appeared set to ensure that PSG would be unwilling to part ways with Barcola, but the fact he will not sign a new contract suggests otherwise.

Were he to leave PSG, Foot Mercato are reporting that Barcola's preference is a move to Anfield, stating that Liverpool's "sporting project particularly appeals" to him. A fee of around €100 million would be needed to secure his signature, which would make him the third most expensive signing in Liverpool's history, behind only last summer's recruits Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak.
