Liverpool's pursuit of Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola hinges on offloading Cody Gakpo, as the French attacker has signaled his intent to depart PSG this summer and is keen on a Premier League move.
Barcola, 23, has reportedly informed PSG he won't sign an extension, making him a prime target for Liverpool. However, securing his signature appears dependent on Liverpool's ability to sell Dutch international Cody Gakpo, who has been linked with Tottenham Hotspur.
Gakpo's performance last season was deemed mediocre, prompting suggestions that Liverpool needs an upgrade. The report highlights Gakpo's suitability for a central role and goal-scoring, contrasting with Liverpool's current need for dynamic, pacey wingers who can create chances from the flanks. Barcola, with his flair and potential, is seen as a perfect fit for this requirement.
The PSG winger is eager for regular playing time at this stage of his career and views a move to Anfield as an ideal opportunity. Despite interest from other clubs, Barcola's preference is reportedly Liverpool. The Merseyside club is urged to make every effort to finalize the deal.
Liverpool will be hoping that interested clubs meet their valuation for Gakpo, whose impressive World Cup campaign could bolster his transfer value and facilitate the potential arrival of Barcola.
