Why it matters
This transfer represents a significant financial investment and a major roster change for a top-tier European football club.
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.
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.
Reuters has contacted Liverpool and PSG for comment.
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.
