New plan
- Liverpool announced the signing of 23-year-old France forward Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain for 120 million pounds, or 140 million euros.
- Barcola will wear number 29 and is expected to replace Mohamed Salah on Liverpool’s left wing.

Liverpool have spent 140 million euros on Bradley Barcola, making the 23-year-old France international the club’s second most expensive signing.
The forward joins from Paris Saint-Germain for 120 million pounds and will wear the number 29 shirt. Liverpool see him as the replacement for Mohamed Salah on the left wing, following a summer in which the club also lost Andy Robertson, Ibrahima Konaté and Curtis Jones.
A great pride.
Only Alexander Isak’s 145-million-euro transfer cost more than Barcola’s move. The deal surpasses the 125 million euros Liverpool paid for Florian Wirtz. Barcola told the club’s official website that joining Liverpool represented “a great pride” and said he wanted to get on the field after a long wait for the transfer.
“I hope to achieve great things. First of all, to win the Premier League, which is one of the biggest dreams of my life,” he said. He signed a long-term contract.
It took a long time.
Barcola joined PSG three seasons ago for 45 million euros and won three French league titles and two Champions League trophies. His arrival could affect Cody Gakpo’s place in the squad. Gakpo has been linked with Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City despite starting regularly and scoring against Newcastle in the opening Premier League round.
Liverpool are also working on a right winger, with Brighton’s Jakub Minteh and Crystal Palace’s Ismaila Sarr under consideration. Before Barcola, the club had added Jeremy Jacquet and Víctor Muñoz during a relatively quiet transfer window.
I hope to achieve great things. First of all, to win the Premier League, which is one of the biggest dreams of my life.
