Liverpool have confirmed the signing of France international Bradley Barcola from Paris St-Germain in a deal estimated at €140m, including bonuses, according to L’Equipe.
The transfer makes Barcola’s move to Anfield the most valuable sale Paris St-Germain have ever completed to a club outside France. The 23-year-old winger has agreed a five-year contract with Liverpool, who have identified him as one of their principal attacking additions this summer.
Barcola joins Liverpool after three seasons in Paris, having moved to Paris St-Germain from Olympique Lyonnais in 2023. During his time with the club, he collected several domestic honours and helped them win the UEFA Champions League.
His development at Paris St-Germain saw him become an increasingly important member of the club’s attacking options. Liverpool are now expecting the Franco-Togolese player to add pace, direct running and greater penetration in the final third as they pursue their ambitions in the Premier League.
The fee represents significant income for Paris St-Germain and reflects the high valuation Barcola has built in the transfer market. Transfermarkt values the player at €90m, meaning the reported package would stand substantially above that figure.
Liverpool formally announced the signing on their official website after several weeks of negotiations between the two clubs. The agreement brings an end to Barcola’s spell in the French capital and marks a major investment by the English club in their forward line.
The player’s arrival comes as Liverpool prepare for their third league match of the season, against Ipswich Town. For that fixture, betting company 1xbet lists Liverpool as favourites at odds of 1.52. A draw is priced at 4.30, while an Ipswich Town victory is listed at 5.00.
Barcola began his senior career at Olympique Lyonnais before making the move to Paris St-Germain in 2023. Across his three seasons with the Paris club, he established himself among their leading attacking players while contributing to a trophy-laden period that included success in domestic competitions and the UEFA Champions League.
Liverpool’s decision to commit to a five-year deal underlines the importance they attach to the winger. The club will be hoping his ability to beat defenders and create decisive moments close to goal can strengthen their attacking options as they compete in the Premier League.
