Liverpool have reached an agreement in principle with Paris Saint-Germain to sign Bradley Barcola for a package worth £120m. The deal has not been finalised, with last details still being discussed, but there has been a breakthrough in negotiations. Should Barcola complete his proposed transfer to Anfield, he would be Liverpool's second most expensive signing of all time, following the club-record deal to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle for £125m last summer. The signing of Barcola would take their overall spend since the end of the 2024/25 season to just over £663m, after also spending heavily on Florian Wirtz and other new signings.

Liverpool are also trying to sign a second new winger, with their target currently Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr following difficult negotiations with Brighton for Yankuba Minteh. Meanwhile, Palace have no intention of letting Sarr go at this stage and consider the 28-year-old to be not for sale. He has three years left on his contract.

Meanwhile, Palace have no intention of letting Sarr go at this stage and consider the 28-year-old to be not for sale. He has three years left on his contract. Sarr missed Palace's opening weekend defeat at Everton. Reports claimed he was refusing to train but it is understood that the winger is currently injured.

Sky Sports' Jamie Carragher believes that Barcola is not the profile of player Liverpool should be prioritising, despite admitting he would be a "great" signing for the club. The former defender has said Liverpool should be prioritising the signing of a right-winger to replace Mohamed Salah after the Egypt forward left the club at the end of last season.
