Liverpool are reportedly preparing an official bid for Paris Saint-Germain forward Bradley Barcola, sources have informed ESPN. The Reds have engaged in preliminary discussions with Barcola's representatives, and the player himself is reportedly eager for a move to Anfield.

Barcola, whose current contract with PSG extends until 2028, is believed to command a valuation of approximately €150 million (£128.5m/$170.9m). Liverpool's pursuit comes as they seek to recruit an elite winger following Mohamed Salah's departure. The club has a sustained interest in Barcola, who has indicated he will not extend his contract with PSG.

Last season, the France international contributed 13 goals and seven assists in 49 appearances for PSG, aiding their triumphs in Ligue 1 and the Champions League. Faced with competition from players like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désiré Doué, Barcola's game time was limited, and he is reportedly seeking a new opportunity. Primarily a left-winger, he can also play on the right and scored three goals in eight World Cup appearances for France.
