Liverpool are still in talks with Paris Saint-Germain over a deal for Bradley Barcola, with a new bid for the winger expected this week.
The French forward was left out of the squad for their 2-1 defeat to Lens in the Trophee des Champions on Sunday along with fellow winger and another Liverpool target Ibrahim Mbaye.
According to French media outlet Jeunes Footeux, PSG are now offering a ‘discount’ on the original rate they wanted for Barcola. The report adds: ‘For a long time, PSG reportedly set the bar at a minimum of €150 million. But the Parisian club’s latest signings could change things. Paris is now said to be willing to listen to an offer between €130 and €140 million. A relative discount, but one that confirms the immense value placed on Barcola by the Parisian management.’
Having secured the signings of Ferran Torres, Maghnes Akliouche and Mika Godts this summer, it is clear that PSG are keen to sell Barcola now and are just holding out for the best price they can get.
Fabrizio Romano has also had his say on the subject.
“Liverpool are negotiating for Barcola. Liverpool are confident for Barcola. Liverpool are pushing for Barcola.
“I expect this deal to accelerate. Now we enter from Monday into crucial stages of the story.
“So the negotiations will continue but Liverpool have a verbal agreement, of course on personal terms with Bradley Barcola and Liverpool want to accelerate, so deal absolutely on.”
In Fab’s words, here we go…
