TBR Football can now confirm that Liverpool are interested in Bradley Barcola \u2013 and share what those inside PSG think.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The France international has become one of the best players in Europe since his \u00a339m move from Lyon to Paris in August 2023 \u2013 helping PSG<\/a> win the treble last season with a remarkable haul of 21 goals and 21 assists in 64 appearances.<\/p>\n

However, the 22-year-old was left out of the starting XI by Luis Enrique for the UEFA Champions League final and the FIFA Club World Cup final, as Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia were preferred.<\/p>\n

TBR Football<\/strong> can now confirm that PSG have no interest in selling Bradley Barcola this summer despite others being ahead of him in the pecking order at the moment, although Liverpool<\/a> are lurking.<\/p>\n

Exclusive: Bradley Barcola would need to force PSG exit for Liverpool move to materialise<\/p>\n

Graeme Bailey \u2013 Chief Correspondent for TBR Football<\/strong> \u2013 has been informed that PSG have no intention of selling the Frenchman this summer, and it would require \u201ccrazy\u201d money for a deal to happen even if the attacker began to push for a move.<\/p>\n

We understand the Parisians would want at least \u00a3100m to sell the man born in Villeurbanne.<\/p>\n

Bailey says: \u201cBradley is a bit like Rodrygo (another player of interest to Liverpool)<\/a> \u2013 too good not to ask about.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is some interest from Liverpool. They are one of the sides who have a long-standing interest. <\/p>\n

\u201cIntermediaries have been busy, checking on potential clubs he could join. Much would depend, like Rodrygo, on the player pushing. Liverpool won\u2019t just bid for no reason. If they think the player wants to move they may look to do a deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs it stands PSG are strong in their stance \u2013 Barcola is not for sale and it would take crazy money to get him. \u00a3100m plus. However, if the player pushes, I am told it could become interesting. But PSG insist they have heard nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bradley Barcola was involved in Ibrahima Konate situation which sparked argument<\/p>\n

Barcola played against Liverpool on two occasions last season in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16, eventually beating the Reds on penalties at Anfield after a 1-1 draw on aggregate. <\/p>\n

However, an argument began after the Reds secured a 1-0 win in Paris in the first leg, following a clash between Ibrahima Konate and the PSG No.29 Liverpool admire.<\/p>\n

The Liverpool No.5 gave Barcola a slight nudge in the back just inside the box as the Frenchman surged towards goal, although neither a penalty or a red card were shown.<\/p>\n

Konate \u2013 who is yet to sign a new contract at Liverpool<\/a> \u2013 said afterwards: \u201cThere was a VAR check. If there was a push, I would have been shown a red card. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m telling you that there wasn\u2019t a foul. It\u2019s true that I am very strong but I don\u2019t apply power, I just put my arm (out). If I had put a lot more power into it then we could talk about it\u2026 but it was soft.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Luis Campos \u2013 Director of Football for PSG \u2013 was enraged.<\/p>\n

Canal+ captured the Portuguese negotiator repeatedly saying \u201cit\u2019s a red card or penalty\u201d at the interval, to which Virgil van Dijk quipped: \u201cCome on bro, it\u2019s not Ligue 1 bro. It\u2019s not Ligue 1.\u201d<\/p>\n

This angered Campos even more, who retorted: \u201cIt\u2019s a red card or penalty in every part of football.\u201d<\/p>\n
