Fabrizio Romano confirms PSG transfer plans for forward tipped to join Liverpool

Liverpool have been tipped to upgrade their strike line over the summer transfer window.

We have already seen Jeremie Frimpong arrive - a player who could provide a new option on the right - and former Bayer Leverkusen teammate Florian Wirtz will soon be confirmed as a Liverpool player too.

But the Reds won’t stop there. Sporting director Richard Hughes and head coach Arne Slot are determined to add improvements following the Premier League title victory.

A clearout potentially involving Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa as well as Luis Diaz, Ben Doak and Diogo Jota could see plenty of space open up in the Reds’ attack.

Links exist to No9s like Victor Osimhen and Joao Pedro but don’t discount the club doing a deal for a winger either.

Liverpool linked with Barcola

In recent days it’s been suggested that Liverpool could go into the market for Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola. The 22-year-old won a treble under Luis Enrique last season - with the crowing glory being the Champions League.

But the French international has been suggested as a potential departure for PSG this summer with Foot Mercato naming Liverpool and Bayern Munich among the candidates to sign him.

Although he made 27 starts in Ligue 1 last season - and 14 more in the Champions League - he was slightly in the shadow of other forward options like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue.

"Nothing imminent" for Barcola says Fabrizio Romano

Under contract until 2028, the Lyon academy graduate has been tipped to move elsewhere.

Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has now weighed in on the future of Barcola, claiming in his GIVEMESPORT newsletter that Luis Enrique has got him in his plans for the FIFA Club World Cup and beyond.

“There is nothing imminent or concrete yet for Barcola,” he wrote. “From what I heard, PSG are counting on him for next season.”

Barcola arrived in 2023 from Lyon for around €45m and has gone on to establish himself as one of the best wide attackers in the world.

Last season he scored 21 goals and added 19 assists in total for PSG - who enjoyed their most successful campaign in history.
