Liverpool are looking to strengthen their attacking line with the signing of PSG attacker Bradley Barcola.
Liverpool were very interested in signing Antoine Semenyo, but the player opted to join Manchester City. According to a report via GMS, Liverpool are currently considering alternatives. They have identified the PSG attacker as a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah.
Barcola is highly regarded in France and has proven his quality at PSG. Liverpool could offer him a key role in a bid to persuade him to move to Anfield. At 23 years old, he has great talent and has a bright future ahead of him. Although he was not a regular starter at PSG, he scored 21 goals and provided 18 assists in all competitions last season. He has the tools to develop into a top-class player.
Since the departure of Luis Diaz, Liverpool have lacked a player who can take on defenders and win in one-on-one situations. We need someone who can move the team forward and add unpredictability to the attack. The French attacker would be ideal for them.
The opportunity to move to the Premier League could also be interesting for Barcora. He needs to play regularly at this stage of his career and sitting on the bench at the French club could have a negative impact on his development. Liverpool could offer him regular chances.
He can play on either flank and his versatility will be a huge bonus for the Premier League champions. It will be interesting to see if Liverpool can agree a deal with the club in the coming months. It is reasonable to think that a transfer during January may be difficult. PSG will not want to lose important players midway through the season. Liverpool may have to wait until the end of the season.
