Liverpool are reportedly evaluating Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola as a summer transfer target.
We previously reported that the Reds were interested in Barcora, with some talks expected to take place soon as questions grow over his future at PSG.
The France international has had an impressive record so far this season with 12 goals and five assists in Ligue 1 and the Champions League, and it would make sense for him to pursue a move to get more first-team time.

Bradley Barcola’s move is perfect for Liverpool
We previously looked at the Barcola to Liverpool match using our Transfer Fit rating system and it’s clear this is a deal with immense potential…

Barcora’s score is 19/25, and while the high transfer fee is the main drawback, it’s not enough to suggest that LFC shouldn’t try to get a deal done.
Even if the 23-year-old is on the expensive side, he is young enough and could continue to develop and prove to be a great long-term deal for Liverpool.
Liverpool need a top winger this summer
Everyone at Liverpool will be aware that this needs to be a big summer in terms of attacking reinforcements following Mohamed Salah’s decline in form and confirmation that he will leave Anfield at the end of his contract.
It won’t be easy to replace a legend like Salah, but Barcola looks like an option worth considering after his form at PSG.
There is also a fear that if Liverpool are not quick, other big clubs will get there first. If he were to leave the Parc des Princes, it’s easy to imagine there would certainly be a long list of suitors waiting in the wings.
