Liverpool finalise agreement to sign PSG's Barcola in deal worth up to £123 million, reports say

Liverpool have finalised an agreement to sign French forward Bradley Barcola ​from European champions Paris St Germain in ‌a deal worth up to £123 million ($166.43 million), ​media reports said on Saturday (August 29, 2026), ⁠with the 23-year-old set to become the latest high-profile addition to Andoni Iraola’s squad.

He ‌had two years remaining on his PSG contract. Barcola would be the latest addition to new manager Andoni Iraola’s squad following the close-season arrivals of Uruguayan defender Ronald Araujo on loan, French centre back ‌Jeremy Jacquet and Spanish forward Victor Munoz. Liverpool’s attacking ​options currently include British record signing Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo, Rio Ngumoha ⁠and Munoz as the Merseyside club adjusts ⁠to life after talisman Mohamed Salah’s departure. Forward Hugo Ekitike is also ‌sidelined with a long-term injury.

The 20-time English champions will pay a package worth £106 million, with add-ons potentially rising ‌to £17 million, for Barcola, the BBC ‌ said. ⁠The Athletic reported that he ⁠is set to sign a five-year contract. Barcola joined PSG from ​his boyhood club ‌Olympique Lyonnais in 2023 and went on to enjoy a trophy-laden spell in the French capital, winning back-to-back Champions League ‌titles in 2024-25 and 2025-26, three ​Ligue 1 crowns and two French Cups, among other honours.
