Facing difficulties at Paris Saint-Germain and still in disagreement with the management over his contract extension, Bradley Barcola is of interest to Liverpool. The Reds believe the French winger is capable of helping their flop Alexander Isak.
Things are getting even more complicated for Barcola. Started at Lens (2-0 win) on Wednesday for the Ligue 1 title match, the PSG winger was replaced by Vitinha at halftime. Nothing to do with a physical issue.
No, Luis Enrique was simply disappointed with his first half. "Why did I take Barcola out at halftime? I have no information to give you on this subject," the Spaniard first dodged. "You can think what you want. I have nothing to explain, but it's very clear."
No need to say more; we understand that Barcola has lost more points than his competitors. In the biggest matches, it is clear that Luis Enrique favors Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Desire Doue.
Suffice it to say that the coach will not change his mind before the Champions League final against Arsenal. It is in this context that PSG will try to restart discussions to extend the winger's contract, which has been under review for months. The case is not progressing, which explains why some clubs, like Liverpool, are sniffing out an opportunity.
The English media confirm the strong interest of the Reds, who are actively seeking a right winger to succeed Mohamed Salah. Barcola fits the profile being sought, as the Premier League giant believes he is capable of enhancing Alexander Isak.
Recruited for $158 million last summer, the Swedish striker has not justified the enormous amount of his transfer. His months spent in the infirmary have not helped him. That is why Liverpool wants to put him in the best conditions next season, if possible, with a winger like Barcola or the other target Yan Diomande.
