Liverpool and PSG are hopefully going to wrap up a deal for Bradley Barcola soon, with the Premier League season set to begin on Friday when Arsenal face Coventry. They will hopefully have him in the squad to face Nottingham Forest the following Saturday, but there is still a good chance this transfer saga drags out until Deadline Day on 1 September, when Liverpool will, one way or another, find out the player’s fate.
“The market’s insane, it’s just off the charts,” he said. “I understand PSG’s stance when you look at Morgan Rogers going for £117m.
They can say, ‘we’ve got a player who’s just won the Champions League twice, he’s a French international, he’s a starter for France, why shouldn’t we be getting that sort of a fee?’ “And also, you’re paying for the potential as well. Because it doesn’t sound like he’s being isolated like Isak was at Newcastle.” This saga has dragged on for nearly two months now, with fans desperate for a meaningful breakthrough.
