Summary
Liverpool finalized Bradley Barcola's move from Paris Saint-Germain for up to £123 million, paying £106 million upfront plus £17 million in add-ons for a five-year contract.
The 23-year-old France forward arrives to bolster Andoni Iraola's attack after Mohamed Salah's departure, Hugo Ekitike's long-term injury and the potential sale of Cody Gakpo.
Barcola scored 13 goals and supplied seven assists in 49 PSG games last season, then played all eight of France's matches at the 2026 World Cup and scored three times.
PSG had valued Barcola at £145 million; the agreed fee also covers a solidarity payment still owed to Lyon from his 2023 transfer to Paris.
Barcola becomes Liverpool's fifth summer signing and adds a left-sided attacker who can play across the front line as the club reshapes its squad.
