Rumour Mongering: PSG Willing to Reduce Barcola Asking Price
Liverpool FC is currently in negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain regarding the transfer of winger Bradley Barcola. While PSG initially set a high asking price, recent reports suggest they may be willing to lower it as they look to offload the player.
Why it matters
High-profile football transfers significantly impact team squad balance and financial health for major European clubs.
Liverpool have been rather stuck in a game of transfer chicken with Paris Saint-Germain going back at least a month now, with the French club keenly aware of just how much the Reds need their so-called Mohamed Salah replacement and previous reports having them setting an eye-watering £145M (€170M) asking price for top target Bradley Barcola .
In the meantime, PSG have been out signing Barcola's presumed replacements. The latest on that front saw them bring in winger Mika Godts from Ajax in a £47M (€55M) deal. They have also signed winger Maghnes Akliouche from Monaco and versatile forward Ferran Torres from Barcelona . Meanwhile, Barcola has two years left on his contract and will not renew.
