Liverpool Close in on £120m are closing in on the signing of Bradley Barcola from Paris St-Germain for a fee that could rise to £120m.
Sources informef that talks have progressed in the past 48 hours and a full agreement is now close for the France forward.
PSG had valued the 23-year-old at £145m, but Liverpool are poised to agree a package that will be worth a minimum of just over £100m and could rise to £120m based on significant individual and team success.
Barcola is right footed but prefers to play on the left wing and his likely arrival creates further doubt around Cody Gakpo’s future at Anfield.
Multiple sources said that both Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City have shown interest in the Netherlands forward.
Liverpool are also in the market for a right winger, having explored moves for Brighton’s Yankuba Minteh and Crystal Palace’s Ismaila Sarr.
The Reds have had offers of £50m and £60m for Gambia winger Minteh rejected by Brighton.
Speaking before Saturday’s game against Nottingham Forest, Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola said he “cannot talk about players that, right now, are not ours”.
He added: “But it is evident that we are trying to improve or try to fill that position because we don’t have the numbers.
“I hope we can have good news soon but we are still not there.”
