Liverpool Reignite Barcola Talks with PSG

Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain restarted discussions over the transfer of Bradley Barcola on Tuesday, as the Premier League club makes a renewed attempt to complete a deal before the close of the transfer window, sources told ESPN.

A first offer, believed to be around £90 million ($122.3m), was rejected by PSG earlier this month, with the French and European champions seeking a fee of £135 million ($184.2m) for their French international winger.

Liverpool agreed personal terms with Barcola, who has been the priority signing for the Merseyside club all summer, some time ago. However, Barcola, who has two years left on his contract, is not forcing a move out of the French capital and is not adverse to staying put. All parties, though, now believe a deal is possible before the end of the transfer window on Sept. 1.

PSG are expecting a new improved offer in the next 24 or 48 hours, which could be decisive. Barcola, who will turn 24 next week, appeared in all eight of France's games as they finished fourth at this summer's World Cup. He has yet to feature for PSG in three games this season.
