Liverpool Eye £170m Bradley Barcola Transfer as Romano Reveals PSG Valuation

Liverpool are reportedly eyeing a £170m transfer for Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain, but the deal depends on PSG's valuation, according to Fabrizio Romano.

What happened?

Liverpool have held talks with Ibrahim Mbaye's agent regarding a summer transfer to Anfield, but a move depends on Paris Saint-Germain's transfer valuation, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Reds have been rather quiet in the transfer market this summer for new boss Andoni Iraola despite such a poor 2025/26 campaign on Merseyside.

Why it matters for Bradley Barcola

Liverpool are keen on signing Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain to upgrade their attack, but agreeing on a fee has proved problematic so far with the French side valuing their winger at £130m. Romano issued a fresh update on Liverpool's move for Mbaye and also claimed that the Reds do have more options on their transfer list ahead of the deadline.

What comes next?

"I expect also Liverpool to add one more winger to the squad, especially if Cody Gakpo goes to Tottenham," said Romano. "Mbaye is one of the names. It's true. They had conversations with the agent of the player, Jorge Mendes, but at the moment it depends on the valuation. I don't see Liverpool paying €200m (£170m) to Paris Saint-Germain for Barcola and Mbaye. So, the price [needs to] come down for both players, or Barcola top priority and, eventually, Mbaye."

Mbaye's 2025/26 campaign in numbers

Mbaye had a successful 2025/26 campaign, and if he does indeed secure a move to Anfield before the transfer deadline, he will be looking to follow in the footsteps of Sadio Mane at Liverpool. Mane was a huge success on Merseyside as he contributed 120 goals and 46 assists in 269 games for the Reds as he helped them win multiple honours.
