Liverpool Near £120m Deal for PSG's Bradley Barcola

Liverpool are reportedly nearing a deal to sign Paris Saint‑Germain midfielder Bradley Barcola, a move that could deepen uncertainty over the future of striker Cody Gakpo. The French club has agreed on a transfer fee with Liverpool, with the two sides finalising the terms of Barcola’s move, according to club officials. The midfielder, who has been a key creative force for PSG, would bring a new dimension to Anfield’s midfield and could prompt a reshuffle of the squad’s attacking options.

Gakpo’s status at Liverpool has been unclear since the summer, with the Dutch forward’s contract set to expire at the end of the season. The club’s interest in Barcola has raised speculation that Gakpo may be on the transfer list or could be moved to accommodate the new signing. Liverpool’s management has yet to confirm whether Gakpo’s future will involve a new contract, a loan, or a permanent transfer to another club. The club’s decision on Barcola’s arrival is likely to influence the final resolution of Gakpo’s situation.
