He's the one for Richard Hughes: Bradley Barcola to Liverpool latest

And Barcola's lack of game time with PSG has long looked like opening the door for him to leave. Adding to that is their reported interest in the likes of Yan Diomande and Julian Alvarez - Barcola is set to have his minutes cut even further.

Now Le10Sport claims that Liverpool have decided this opportunity is one they can't afford to miss. They're now pushing harder than ever before to sign Barcola.

It appears that the club have decided he's the one - the big-money signing for the summer to boost a failing forward line. There is, by all accounts, also a desire to sign Diomande but it may be that his star has grown to the extent where Liverpool don't see value for money anymore.

RB Leipzig won't let him go cheaply, after all.

But Barcola? PSG will be open to negotiation as they rejig over the summer. And Liverpool, it seems, are hoping to take full advantage of that.
