Liverpool planning move for PSG star if Reds miss out on Yan Diomande as expected: report

Liverpool have been heavily linked with RB, Liverpool could move for winger Bradley Barcola, who might be available in the case of a “big proposal”.

The France international scored 13 goals in 49 appearances for the European champions last season, but Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia have often been preferred by Luis Enrique.

Liverpool have reportedly been interested in Barcola since 2025, though David Ornstein claims PSG do not want to sell the 23-year-old and they would prefer to keep him in their rotation with a star signing like Diomande.

The Ligue 1 side are said to value the winger at well over £100m and don’t need to sell even if they spend big on Diomande.

Barcola, though, is reluctant to sign a new contract and wants to start more regularly.

With AC Milan set to sign Goncalo Ramos from PSG for a club record fee, and Lee Kang-in and Randal Kolo Muani set to leave the French capital, Luis Enrique wants to keep Barcola.

It remains to be seen if a big offer from Liverpool would persuade PSG to sell.

In FourFourTwo’s view, Barcola would be an exceptional addition for Liverpool and would likely thrive in an Andoni Iraola team, but much will depend on the fee required to do a deal, and the player’s desire to leave Paris.
