Liverpool transfer news and rumors latest as the Reds are given a potential price tag for the signing of Bradley Barcola, while Harvey Elliott's thoughts on his future are revealedLiverpool has been quoted a huge transfer fee to sign Bradley Barcola this summer(Image: (Photo by Peter Joneleit/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images))Liverpool's preseason tour is officially underway, as Andoni Iraola is bringing his players to America for a tour that will get many of them in top condition before the start of the Premier League campaign.The Reds are still missing some key stars due to the World Cup, with the group containing a mixture of first-team aces and academy options who could all make an impact. While Stateside, Liverpool could add even more firepower to the team with the addition of a few new faces in the way of transfer signings.Two signings have been completed so far, but work is underway to make a few other additions across the team to take them to the next level.So, with that said, here's a look at the latest Liverpool transfer news and rumors ahead of another busy day of action in the market.Bradley Barcola (PSG)Links between Liverpool and Bradley Barcola don't seem to be disappearing, as the winger continues to be rumored with a potential exit from PSG.With just two years remaining on his deal and a possible desire to leave the club, there is an opportunity there for a club willing to push for his signature.Bradley Barcola continues to be linked with a potential transfer to Liverpool this summer(Image: Sarah Stier - FIFA/FIFA via Getty Images)However, according to David Ornstein on the Athletic FC podcast, any deal won't come cheap, whether that is for Liverpool or Arsenal this summer.He claimed: "Bradley Barcola has been mentioned, but we don’t know of active movements from Arsenal on Barcola at this moment in time.
Barcola is a player Liverpool really like... PSG’s standpoint is that they do not want to sell him, they would like to keep him, they'd like to renew him.“Even if they are to sell him, the price in their mind would be higher - considerably, I think - than, say, Elliot Anderson’s move from Nottingham Forest to Manchester City (around $155 million) because this is a player who has won Champions Leagues, competed at the highest level for club and country, scores goals, assists goals, you have got to pay the market rate.“He does have two years to go on his contract, he doesn’t appear to be signing, he appears to be open to moving."Liverpool.com says: A move for Bradley Barcola was always likely to be expensive, given the quality he already has displayed and the potential he has to grow further.
There may be some frustration that the market may dictate the price even further, and it could now be difficult for Liverpool because of the expensive deals completed elsewhere in the past year.Harvey Elliott (Liverpool)Harvey Elliott's future remains uncertain this summer, as the 23-year-old made his return to Liverpool after a disappointing loan spell with Aston Villa that didn't end with the permanent move that was expected.With just one year left on his contract at Anfield, there have been some suggestions that another exit could be on the cards, but a stay at the club is still possible.As Elliott has made his return to pre-season training, Football Insider reports that he is keen to prove himself over the coming weeks to win back a place in the Liverpool team. That may see him stop a potential exit, as doubts continue to surround his future.Liverpool.com says: Considering the lack of options available in the forward ranks after several moves and injuries, Liverpool could make use of Elliott over the next year.
