Liverpool transfer news: Liverpool have completed one of the most significant signings of the modern Premier League era, agreeing a £106 million base fee plus £17 million in performance-related add-ons to bring Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola to Anfield. Liverpool transfer news: Reds break bank for PSG’s electric French forward Bradley Barcola as senior figures strike deal directly with Nasser Al-Khelaifi In a notably generous gesture, Liverpool transfer news confirmed the Reds will absorb a €5 million solidarity payment owed to Barcola’s former club Lyon, a cost that typically falls on the selling club.
