Liverpool are close to reaching an agreement with Paris St-Germain for the transfer of forward Bradley Barcola, British media reported on Monday. The deal is reported to carry a price tag in excess of £100 million.
Discussions between the two clubs are understood to be at an advanced stage, with personal terms and a medical yet to be completed. If finalised, the move would see Barcola join Liverpool as the club looks to strengthen its attacking options ahead of the new season.
A fee above £100 million would place the transfer among the most expensive in world football and underline the continued escalation in the market for top attacking talent. Both clubs have so far made no official announcement confirming the deal.
There is likely to be close scrutiny of the paperwork and timing before any announcement, with standard formalities such as a medical and work-permit clearance expected to follow. Supporters and observers are awaiting confirmation from Liverpool and PSG regarding the final terms and completion of the transfer.
