​Bradley Barcola could viably be ‘open’ to the possibility of joining Liverpool this summer, although Reds fans might need to be patient for any such move to materialise.Fabrizio Romano has indicated on several occasions that the France international is ‘top’ of the Merseysiders’ transfer wish list as they seek to bring in the wide attacking addition that Andoni Iraola openly craves.DOWNLOAD THE OFFICIAL EMPIRE OF THE KOP APP FOR ALL THE LATEST & BREAKING UPDATES – STRAIGHT TO YOUR PHONE!

PSG would like to keep him, but they are realistic. He has only two years left on his contract. He’s not a regular starter, and he wants to be, so I suspect he would be open to a move if the right opportunity arose.“Liverpool have him high in their thinking, and I imagine Barcola himself would be attracted to clubs like Liverpool and Arsenal, and so on. The price would be very high. When you see someone like Elliot Anderson moving for £116m – Barcola’s fee is going to be higher.“Of course, we’ve got to keep a close eye on Barcola and Liverpool, but at this moment I’m not sure it’s at an advanced stage.“France are still in the tournament. PSG, I’m told, don’t want to trouble him or take his focus away from the World Cup, so – like with many situations – I would imagine this one starts to develop, in whatever shape or form – if that means staying, going, Liverpool or elsewhere – post-tournament.”Romano then poured fuel on the fire with his own cryptic update on X on Tuesday afternoon (see below).We can deduce from reliable sources like Ornstein and Romano that Liverpool’s interest in Barcola is indeed genuine, and that the winger would be prepared to move on from PSG in search of more regular game-time.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWhat’d likely make a move for the 23-year-old more challenging is the lofty transfer fee that the Champions League holders would probably demand (as noted by the Anderson reference), and the reduced window in which to do a deal because of France’s prolonged World Cup involvement.Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
