Liverpool lead race for PSG winger Bradley Barcola as Arsenal trail
Liverpool need to replenish attacking firepower this summer, and the club have identified 23‑year‑old Bradley Barcola as a prime target. The Reds are ahead of Arsenal in the chase for the Paris Saint-Germain winger, according to journalist Ben Jacobs on X.
Barcola enjoyed an impressive run of form for PSG last season, making 49 appearances across all competitions. He scored 13 goals and provided seven assists, establishing himself as one of Ligue 1’s most talented wingers.
The France international combines pace with vision, frequently creating chances in the final third. He can operate primarily on the left, but is also comfortable on the right or as a centre‑forward when required.
Barcola’s contract with Paris Saint‑Germain runs until the summer of 2028, meaning Liverpool may have to meet a high price rather than secure a cut‑price deal.
Ben Jacobs wrote on X: "Land This Paris Saint‑Germain Winger Should Iraola Move for him", noting the Reds are ahead of Arsenal in the race for the winger.
According to the report, the Reds are more active than Arsenal in the pursuit, suggesting Liverpool aim to add firepower to their frontline this off‑season.
If the move materialises, Barcola would challenge for a regular starting place at Liverpool and help the club compete for major honours, while the 23‑year‑old would test his abilities in the Premier League during his peak years.
The final hurdle remains the financial one: Liverpool must match the price demanded for a player under contract until 2028, while fending off Arsenal’s interest.
