Liverpool are pushing to sign PSG winger Bradley Barcola, but the French champions are holding out for a staggering £128 million fee, according to reports from L'Equipe. The Reds are reportedly willing to pay around £103 million, with Barcola open to the move.
Transfer impasse
The significant gap in valuations is the main obstacle preventing a deal. However, the BBC report that Liverpool are ready to reassess their stance and increase their offer to secure the transfer. L'Equipe adds that despite the two clubs being "very far apart", the deal is expected to be completed before the transfer window closes.
Liverpool have had a quiet summer, with only Victor Munoz and Jeremy Jacquet arriving so far. The Reds are keen to add more firepower ahead of the new Premier League season, with a pre-season friendly against Monaco at Anfield this weekend.
Torres agreement could pave the way
Barcelona forward Ferran Torres has reportedly agreed to join PSG this summer, a move that could facilitate Barcola's departure. The Spanish World Cup winner is said to have given the green light to PSG manager Luis Enrique, according to Spanish publication Sport.
Torres has hinted at a possible exit, saying: "In the world of football, you never know." His arrival in Paris could free up space for Barcola to move to Anfield.
