Liverpool have been handed another major boost in their pursuit of Bradley Barcola, with reports in France claiming that the winger’s priority is to join the Reds.
According to RMC Sport, although some media outlets have reported interest from another English club, Barcola’s preference is Liverpool.
That could prove hugely significant as Liverpool continue their attempts to bring the PSG star to Anfield.
👀 Barcola wants Liverpool
We’ve heard plenty about Liverpool’s interest in Barcola throughout the summer.
But when a transfer becomes complicated, there is one factor that can make a huge difference:
What does the player actually want?
And if RMC Sport are correct, Barcola has made his preference clear.
Liverpool.
That doesn’t mean the transfer is guaranteed, of course.
PSG still have to agree to sell, and Liverpool still have to meet the French champions’ valuation.
But having the player’s preference on their side is certainly a positive for the Reds.
Another English club is interested
There has been speculation that another Premier League club has entered the race for Barcola.
That could potentially make negotiations more complicated for Liverpool, particularly if PSG receive a competing offer.
But the latest information from RMC Sport suggests that Barcola isn’t simply choosing whichever club offers the most money.
His priority is reportedly a move to Anfield.
And that’s exactly what Liverpool supporters will want to hear.
Liverpool have been pushing hard
Liverpool’s interest in Barcola is certainly not a secret.
The Reds have reportedly made increasingly ambitious offers for the French winger, with figures of around €135m being discussed in recent reports.
That would represent an enormous investment.
But Liverpool clearly believe Barcola is worth it.
And with the player apparently keen on the move, there is now a potentially very interesting situation developing.
Liverpool want Barcola.
Barcola wants Liverpool.
Now PSG need to decide whether they are prepared to let him go.
Why Barcola is such an exciting target
It’s easy to understand why Liverpool are so determined.
Barcola is exactly the type of attacking player the squad needs.
He’s quick.
He’s direct.
He’s excellent in one-on-one situations.
And he’s capable of creating something from nothing.
Put him alongside Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak, and Liverpool could have an incredibly exciting attacking trio.
Then add Cody Gakpo, Federico Chiesa, Rio Ngumoha and potentially Ibrahim Mbaye into the equation.
The competition for places could be fierce.
Could this finally happen?
That’s the question Liverpool fans will be asking.
The player’s preference is apparently clear.
Liverpool have shown they are prepared to spend serious money.
And PSG have already demonstrated this summer that they are willing to make changes to their squad.
But until the two clubs agree a fee, there is still work to do.
For now, though, this is another reason for Liverpool supporters to be optimistic.
Barcola’s priority is Liverpool.
That’s a pretty big statement.
Now let’s hope Liverpool can turn the player’s desire into a transfer to Anfield.
