Liverpool continue their pursuit of Bradley Barcola this summer, and journalist Ben Jacobs has provided an interesting update on their potential plan. Speaking to talkSPORT [via This Is Anfield], Jacobs said that Liverpool could now look to take a risk and wait for as long as possible to bid for Barcola, in order to sign him on the cheap: “If Liverpool wait and wait and wait, their feeling will be (Bradley) Barcola’s in an untenable position because PSG have ultimately added Ferran Torres, Mika Godts and Maghnes Akliouche.

“Alternatively, from Liverpool’s perspective, if they go now and try and do it early, Paris Saint-Germain might turn around and say ‘you know the price’ in the hope that Liverpool pay it out of urgency. “This has got to come to a head one way or the other, but Barcola remains Liverpool’s top target.

Liverpool’s entire tactic is around waiting, feeling in control of it, knowing Barcola wants the move, and then hoping the price comes down in the final days of the window.” Are Liverpool taking a risk with Bradley Barcola pursuit? There is certainly plenty of sense in Liverpool taking this approach, as they look to grind PSG down and eventually sign Barcola for cheaper than the whopping £145.3m they are reportedly demanding.
