Liverpool have begun preparing a formal approach for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, their top summer target, at around £100 million, while PSG value him closer to £145 million, The Athletic reported.
Details:
- The need: Liverpool are looking to strengthen the left wing after Mohamed Salah’s departure and Hugo Ekitike’s long-term injury.
- The gap: The two clubs remain roughly £45 million apart on valuation.
- Elsewhere: Inter Milan have told Liverpool they would pay €35 million for Curtis Jones, who has one year left on his contract.
- Preseason: Alexander Isak, Florian Wirtz and Ryan Gravenberch all got their first run-outs of the summer, while Joe Gomez picked up an injury that will sideline him for the start of the season.
What to Watch:
Whether Liverpool submit a formal bid to PSG, and how the Curtis Jones-Inter talks progress before the transfer window closes on September 1.
