Fabrizio Romano has revealed the latest he\u2019s hearing on Bradley Barcola to Liverpool<\/a>, with an agreement on personal terms confirmed and two connected deals spelling good news for the Reds.<\/p>\n

Barcola,<\/a> 23, is Liverpool\u2019s top target for the wing positions and the player they intend to break the bank for this summer.<\/p>\n

The France international wants out of PSG<\/a> and despite attracting interest from Premier League champions Arsenal, he only has eyes for Anfield.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Friday, both Fabrizio Romano<\/a> and our own transfer insider, Graeme Bailey, confirmed an agreement on personal terms<\/a> between Barcola and Liverpool is now in place.<\/p>\n

With the player side of the deal settled, all eyes are on whether Liverpool<\/a> and PSG can meet in the middle and shake hands on a deal structure and transfer fee.<\/p>\n

The two clubs are in daily talks regarding that very subject. But as yet, there\u2019s been no breakthrough, with PSG demanding a mammoth \u20ac170m \/ \u00a3145m fee.<\/p>\n

TEAMtalk understands Liverpool are prepared to spend upwards of \u00a3120m and potentially even slightly more than the \u00a3125m they paid when making Alexander Isak their record buy last year. However, they have no intention of going all the way to \u00a3145m.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, trusted reporter, Ben Jacobs, hinted the reason Liverpool are yet to table an official opening offer is because they believe PSG will lower their asking price once they\u2019ve brought in attacking reinforcements<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Maghnes Akliouche has been banked via Monaco, though Luis Enrique\u2019s side were also pushing to sign Ferran Torres from Barcelona and Mika Godts from Ajax.<\/p>\n

Agreements to sign Torres (\u20ac50m) and Godts (\u20ac55m) have now been struck, with Romano confirming the pair had already travelled to Paris on Friday night to undergo medicals.<\/p>\n

He wrote on X<\/a>:\u00a0\u2018Ferran Torres and Mika Godts are BOTH in Paris right now, ready for medical at Paris Saint-Germain. Both here we go, confirmed.\u2019<\/p>\n

Fabrizio Romano goes \u2018all in\u2019 on Bradley Barcola to Liverpool<\/strong><\/p>\n

With Torres and Godts on the cusp of joining, Romano took to YouTube <\/a>to provide an update on Barcola to Liverpool, which he now expects to ramp up as a result of the other moves PSG have just made.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat does it (the Torres and Godts arrivals) mean? That there is an expectation there could be movements around the situation of Bradley Barcola,\u201d declared Romano.<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause the situation of Barcola remains absolutely linked to Liverpool. I never stopped telling you and I remain absolutely all in on this story, because Liverpool want Barcola.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiverpool are negotiating for Barcola, and because I was believing in this news already in April, May, when the story and the narrative around was that Barcola was untouchable. But I remain on this story again today.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiverpool are still trying for Barcola. There\u2019s still a gap in financial valuation between what PSG want and what Liverpool offer, but they\u2019re still working for Barcola.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe financial agreement with the player is okay, and now Liverpool and PSG keep talking, exchanging messages and discussing for Barcola.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe deal is alive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barcola arrival will facilitate Cody Gakpo sale<\/strong><\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s aim is to sign Barcola and one more winger, even despite Victor Munoz\u2019s arrival earlier this summer.<\/p>\n

Their reasoning for wanting two more wide men is simple \u2013 they\u2019ll greenlight a lucrative sale for Cody Gakpo if securing a double coup.<\/p>\n

The Dutchman wants out of Anfield and Tottenham are determined to sign Gakpo and Manchester City\u2019s Savinho<\/a> to provide Roberto De Zerbi with two new starters out wide.<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s asking price for Gakpo is around \u00a370m, though despite the Dutchman\u2019s sub-par season last term, Spurs aren\u2019t put off by that number.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fabrizio Romano has revealed the latest he\u2019s hearing on Bradley Barcola to Liverpool, with an agreement on personal…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1148932,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[8815],"tags":[160,116916,748,393,30079,163,4884,179,101,7580,100,16,15],"class_list":["post-1148931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-liverpool","tag-all-the-news","tag-bradley-barcola","tag-britain","tag-england","tag-french-ligue-1","tag-front-page","tag-great-britain","tag-liverpool","tag-premier-league","tag-psg","tag-transfer-news","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/117096257041176038","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1148931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1148931"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1148931\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1148932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1148931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1148931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1148931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
