- Liverpool agreed a package worth up to £123m with PSG for Bradley Barcola, structured as £106m upfront and up to £17m in add-ons.
- PSG had initially held out for around £145m before the valuation gap closed earlier this week, when an agreement in principle at £120m was reached.
- Barcola is set to sign a five-year deal running to 2031, with documents still to be exchanged and a medical expected to take place this weekend.
- The move would make Barcola Liverpool's second most expensive signing ever, behind the club-record £125m deal for Alexander Isak from Newcastle last summer.
- Barcola's arrival could open the door for Cody Gakpo to depart Anfield, with both Tottenham and Manchester City credited as interested in the Dutchman.
- Liverpool remain in the market for a second new winger, currently targeting Crystal Palace's Ismaila Sarr after difficult negotiations with Brighton over Yankuba Minteh.
Why it matters: Liverpool are committing up to £123m to a 23-year-old forward, making it the second-most-expensive signing in club history behind Alexander Isak's £125m move. The purchase reshapes Liverpool's attacking depth chart and could directly enable Cody Gakpo's exit, with Tottenham and Manchester City already circling.
