Liverpool celebrates loudly as they are close to securing a "key star" to bolster their squad after agreeing on a transfer fee, a move that will impact one star player.
On 27 Aug 2026 GMT+7, David Ornstein, a trusted reporter from The Athletic, a leading UK media outlet, reported that Liverpool is preparing to sign French international winger Bradley Barcola, a member of the 2026 World Cup squad, to showcase his skills in the English Premier League.
Ornstein stated, "Liverpool has reached a principle agreement with Paris Saint-Germain to acquire Bradley Barcola, the team's attacking player, to join their squad."
"Both clubs agreed on the preliminary terms of the deal overnight, with a total value exceeding 135 million euros (£120 million), and are currently handling the final key details on Thursday morning."
Although no contract has been signed and the deal is not yet complete, Bradley Barcola's potential transfer is likely to have a continuing impact on Liverpool forward Cody Gakpo, who has consistently been linked with Spurs and has also attracted interest from Manchester City this summer.
