Liverpool set to wait until the final days of the window to sign Bradley Barcola

With negotiations at a standstill, Liverpool have decided to pause negotiations with PSG to sign Bradley Barcola (23), according to L’Équipe. The Reds have identified the French international forward as their priority target to bolster their attacking options but are yet to find a breakthrough in discussions with the Ligue 1 champions. 

The French capital are currently demanding a fee in the region of £145m which the Premier League are refusing to match in order to complete a deal for the former Lyon forward. Barcola is unwilling to sign a new contract at the Parc des Princes and would be open to moving to Anfield. 

Whilst Les Parisiens finalise the arrival of two new forwards in Ferran Torres (25) and Mika Godts (21), Liverpool have decided to wait until the final days of the window before restarting negotiations to sign the Frenchman. The Merseyside outfit will be hopeful that the UEFA Champions League winners are prepared to drop their asking price for the 23-year-old.
