Liverpool Raises Offer to €135 Million for PSG's Bradley Barcola Following Lens Omission

Liverpool have upped their bid to €135 million for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola. The French international was notably left out of PSG’s squad in their recent match against Lens, signaling a potential shift in negotiations.

Details of the Improved Bid

According to Foot01, Liverpool’s latest offer marks a substantial increase from their earlier proposals, which were just over €100 million. This move appears aimed at persuading PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi to approve the transfer. Barcola, who previously played for Lyon, remains eager to join Liverpool this transfer window.

PSG Reassesses Player Valuation

The involvement of Amazon’s boss in Liverpool’s ownership structure may have encouraged the club to raise their financial offer. PSG executives are now carefully examining the €135 million proposal instead of outright rejecting it. Originally, the club valued Barcola at close to €150 million, but key figures are now considering a lower figure to avoid a prolonged saga similar to that of Kylian Mbappe.

No Arsenal Move Expected

Despite rumors linking Barcola with Arsenal, sources in English media suggest that a transfer to the Emirates Stadium is unlikely. While Arsenal has shown interest, no formal talks have taken place, and Liverpool appears to be the frontrunner given the advanced stage of their negotiations with PSG.

Transfer Negotiations Nearing Completion

PSG values Barcola’s professionalism highly and seems inclined to finalize a deal smoothly. Both clubs are working towards concluding this significant transfer in the coming days, making it one of the standout moves of the summer transfer window.
