# €170 million for Salah's replacement: PSG sets a crazy price for Barcola on Liverpool

The transfer summer in the English Premier League promises to be record-breaking in terms of intensity. At the center of attention is Liverpool, which is actively working on strengthening its attack following the departure of Mohamed Salah. The Merseysiders have identified the ideal replacement for the Egyptian star, but the management of Paris Saint-Germain has set a price that could make the head of any top club spin.

### The battle for the 23-year-old winger

Liverpool's main target has become Bradley Barcola. The club's management and new head coach Andoni Iraola view the French winger as a key acquisition. The player himself has already expressed a desire to leave the French champions and try his luck in the Premier League, refusing to extend his contract. His current agreement with PSG runs for another two years, giving the Parisians leverage in negotiations.

However, the appetites of the French giant turned out to be off the charts. PSG has valued Barcola's transfer at €170 million. In forming this figure, the club relied on the player's age, his huge potential, and current market trends. For comparison: as recently as last summer, the price tag on the winger was around £75 million (approximately €86 million). The price difference is colossal, and Liverpool intends to knock it down during official negotiations, considering the current sum inflated.

### Player priorities and competition

Despite Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea keeping an eye on Barcola's services, the player himself considers Liverpool the priority option. At PSG, the winger is dissatisfied with the amount of playing time under Luis Enrique and strives for constant practice at the highest level.

The Merseysiders were ready to consider other options. Earlier, the club was simultaneously negotiating the signing of Jan Diomande from RB Leipzig, but an offer of €100 million was rejected. Now, all efforts of the transfer department are focused specifically on the Frenchman's candidacy.

### Statistics and prospects

Why is there such a fight for the player? The numbers speak for themselves. In the 25/26 season, Barcola played 49 matches at the club level, scoring 13 goals and providing 7 assists. On the international stage, he also proved himself: as part of the French national team, he played in the 2026 World Cup, reaching the third-place match (losing to the English team). The player has 3 goals to his credit during the tournament.

Now everything depends on how flexible PSG's positions will be and whether Liverpool is ready to pay a record sum for a winger who could become a new star of the Premier League.
