A new report claims that PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is set to take charge of negotiations with Liverpool to expedite the Bradley Barcola transfer. James Pearce on the bid that Liverpool were said to be submitting last week: “Liverpool are set to table an opening bid for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola.
They will look to do a deal closer to £100m given that the player has made it clear he won’t sign a new contract at PSG and wants to embark on a new challenge on Merseyside.” On Wednesday, L’Equipe journalist Loic Tanzi claimed that “all negotiating parties remain confident a solution will be found for Bradley Barcola to join Liverpool despite PSG wanting €150m + including bonuses and Liverpool signalling they are not prepared to go above €120m (£102m).” Now, today, Tanzi has another update on the situation which should see an imminent breakthrough in talks. Liverpool deal to sign Barcola may progress soon due to Nasser Al-Khelaifi involvement As the 2026 summer transfer window approaches its conclusion, with the Premier League deadline set for 1 September at 11 pm, movement is needed on Liverpool transfers, with the news that Al-Khelaifi will personally lead talks in the Barcola case an encouraging update.
Tanzi now reports: “PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is also expected to become directly involved soon by speaking with Liverpool’s senior executives and owners, with whom he has a strong relationship. “It should not be forgotten that Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain share the same minority shareholder, Arctos, which could help facilitate discussions between the key decision-makers at both clubs.” ?? ???? – @Tanziloic: PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi is also expected to become directly involved soon by speaking with Liverpool’s senior executives and owners, with whom he has a strong relationship.
