Liverpool are preparing a big offer to sign Barkola
Liverpool are preparing a new and substantial offer to sign Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barkola next week, as the English club's management are keen to finalize the deal before the transfer window closes . According to English reports, Liverpool's confidence in reaching an agreement with PSG has grown, especially after the French club's activity in the transfer market, most notably the signing of Belgian winger Micah Gudjohnsen from Ajax in a deal that could reach £47 million . Gudjohnsen's arrival is seen as an indication that Barkola's departure is imminent, given that PSG already have several attacking options, including Khvica Kratskhelia and Désiré Doué . PSG had previously insisted on a £145 million fee for Barkola, but the player's desire for regular playing time could help Liverpool reach an agreement on the transfer fee . Speculation surrounding Barcola's future intensified after the 23-year-old was left out of Paris Saint-Germain's squad for a recent match. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano pointed out that the player wasn't even on the bench, while negotiations with Liverpool continue . Barcola is also attracting interest from Arsenal, but the London club appears unwilling to match PSG's high asking price, giving Liverpool an advantage in the race to sign the French winger . Liverpool sees Barcola as a key target to bolster their attack and hopes to finalize the deal in the coming days, given the player's desire to move to the Premier League.
