Liverpool is not far from signing, despite spending more than £200 million since the start of the summer transfer period. There is a desire to bring Alexander Isaac from Newcastle, and as Louis Diaz heads for Bayern Munich, the new left winger will also be on the agenda.
Despite signing Hugo Ekitike, Liverpool will need further reinforcements to attack if Diaz, Darwin Nunez and Federico Chiesa leave Anfield by the end of summer. ISAK is wanted, and Real Madrid’s Rodrigo has been strongly linked over the past few weeks when it comes to winger’s targets.
But it’s another option that attracted attention from Liverpool sports director Richard Hughes, not Rodrigo.
Liverpool likes to sign Bradley Barcola over Rodrigo
According to Julian Lawrence (via ESPN), Liverpool is interested in PSG’s Bradley Barcola, and Hughes is said to be a particularly big fan of France International. However, the Premier League champions are aware that the 22-year-old, who scored 21 goals and 20 assists last season, is not on sale at any price.
Also, Barcola, who has been attracting interest from Arsenal in recent weeks, will be a dream of signing Liverpool, so it’s understand why he wants Hughes. However, given that PSG is a European champion and a finalist in the Club World Cup, if players push the move, they don’t hold many cards in this fight.
It is still unclear how the situation will unfold at Liverpool’s left wing position. Diaz, who will join Bayern, feels inevitable at this point, especially given that he was ruled out from a friendly defeat to AC Milan before the recent season, especially due to speculation surrounding his future. If he’s going, Arne Slot’s team certainly needs a replacement.
