Liverpool have put talks with Paris Saint-Germain for Bradley Barcola on hold. Barcola remains a priority target for Andoni Iraola’s side to strengthen their attacking options despite the clubs still at odds over the player’s valuation.

Les Parisiens are seeking a price tag in the region of £130 million while the Reds have attempted to set out their stall with a lower opening offer of £98M. It is understood that Liverpool plan to pick up talks with the European champions on signing Barcola towards the end of the transfer window.

PSG, meanwhile, are continuing to strengthen their frontline options with Barcelona’s Ferran Torres and Mika Godts of Ajax in advanced talks. The pair’s arrivals would further diminish Barcola’s standing at the Parc des Princes after entering the final two years of his current contract with the club.
