James Pearce has warned Liverpool of the dangers of taking too long to sign Bradley Barcola with the summer transfer window steadily ticking away. Reporting for The Athletic, Pearce says: “Since their pursuit of RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande floundered, Bradley Barcola has been Liverpool’s top target.

“Liverpool have also inquired about the availability of Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche, who would be a cheaper alternative. Barcola would certainly be a statement signing given his glittering CV, but if that situation drags on too long, you run the risk of other suitable options being snapped up.” [?] NEW: Since their pursuit of RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande floundered, Bradley Barcola has been Liverpool’s top target.
