There have been several links across the transfer window so far, with Yan Diomande linked heavily at the start of the market, before making it clear that his priorities were elsewhere.The interest in Barcola isn't new, but it is clear that Liverpool has had to wait for the right moment to strike, with the past week appearing to be the right moment to do just that.The France international has only recently taken some time off over the summer, due to his involvement at the World Cup, which may have been a key factor in waiting for the time to push for his signature.After reports claimed that Barcola wouldn't be signing a new contract, which has recently entered the final two years at the Parc des Princes, it was clear that the door was now open for a potential transfer, with PSG looking to maximize his value while it still can.Talks have opened between clubs, while there are claims that an opening offer will be submitted soon, as Liverpool steps up the chase for the winger, but there are still key things missing in getting a deal done.Bradley Barcola in action for France during the World Cup(Image: Abdulhamid Hosbas/Anadolu via Getty Images)One of those is a replacement at PSG, with the European champions unlikely to sell before they can bring a fresh face in, with steps being taken to ensure that is in place.That's because Fabrizio Romano reports that PSG has reached a breakthrough in talks with AS Monaco to sign Maghnes Akliouche for the forward department.It's claimed that talks are now at an advanced stage, with only the last details to be finalized before the deal can be signed off.That would give PSG its replacement for Barcola, making the team potentially more receptive to offers for Barcola in the coming days and weeks.With that hurdle set to be cleared, the major one ahead of Liverpool is just how much the team can negotiate a fee for, due to the potentially significant demands of PSG.It remains to be seen whether an agreement can be reached there, with all things moving in the right direction for the Reds to get a transfer over the line.Choose Liverpool.com as a 'Preferred Source' on Google News for quick access to the news you value.Bradley BarcolaLiverpool FCParis Saint-Germain FC
