  • Liverpool signed Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola for up to RM670 million, including an RM577 million initial fee and RM92.6 million in potential bonuses.
  • The 23-year-old France international ranks as the Premier League’s second-most expensive player, behind Liverpool teammate Alexander Isak.
  • Barcola signed a long-term contract and will wear No. 29, but faces competition for a place in Liverpool’s crowded attack.

Bradley Barcola has joined Liverpool in a deal worth up to RM670 million, becoming the second-most expensive player in Premier League history. Liverpool will pay Paris Saint-Germain an initial RM577 million, with a further RM92.6 million available in bonuses.

Only Barcola’s new teammate Alexander Isak has commanded a higher fee in the league. Isak joined Liverpool for RM680 million, while Florian Wirtz, another Liverpool signing from Bayer Leverkusen, ranks among the five most expensive Premier League players at RM631 million.

Liverpool now have three of the five most expensive players ever to move to the Premier League. The club also secured Barcola for less than PSG’s reported initial demand of RM789 million.

The 23-year-old France international has signed a long-term contract and will wear the No. 29 shirt. “It is a great pride to be able to play for Liverpool. I am very happy. It took quite a long time, but I am really happy today because I can finally play for Liverpool,” Barcola said.

The left winger will compete for a place in a Liverpool attack that already offers several high-quality options.

It is a great pride to be able to play for Liverpool. I am very happy. It took quite a long time, but I am really happy today because I can finally play for Liverpool.
