Liverpool sign Barcola for £106m as Gakpo expected to stay

The Guardian · 2 hours ago

Liverpool have completed the signing of France international Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain for an initial £106m, rising to £123m, on a five-year deal. The move follows manager Andoni Iraola's focus on strengthening the wings this summer as he looks to rebuild the club's attacking line, and Barcola said winning the Premier League was "one of my biggest dreams".

Barcola, who turns 24 this week, had been a long-term Liverpool target and was reportedly only willing to join this club, with the deal delayed while PSG sought replacements. He is expected to be Liverpool's last major signing of the window, with the club having rejected an £80m approach from Manchester City for Cody Gakpo and expecting the Dutch forward to stay. Harvey Elliott looks set to join Valencia on loan, while the recent arrivals of Barcola, Jérémy Jacquet, 21, and Victor Muñoz, 23, reflect a strategy of recruiting younger players for the long term.
