Liverpool FC is actively engaged in the summer transfer market, focusing on bolstering their attacking options following the departure of Mohamed Salah. The club has identified Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola as a prime target. Barcola, 23, has expressed interest in joining Liverpool due to limited playing time at PSG, where he started 21 of 34 Ligue 1 matches last season. However, PSG's valuation of €170 million (£145 million) poses a significant hurdle, potentially surpassing Liverpool's previous record transfer fee. Negotiations are expected to be complex, with the possibility of Liverpool seeking to lower the asking price. (fourfourtwo.com)
In addition to Barcola, Liverpool has completed the signing of Rennes centre-back Jeremy Jacquet for £60 million. The 20-year-old passed his medical in February and has now officially joined the squad. Jacquet is expected to strengthen Liverpool's defense, providing competition alongside Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez. (skysports.com)
Furthermore, Liverpool has secured the services of Osasuna winger Victor Munoz by activating his €40 million release clause. Munoz, 22, has signed a contract until 2032, adding depth to Liverpool's attacking options. (sport.sky.de)
The club is also in advanced talks with Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton. The 22-year-old is keen to join a Champions League club, and Liverpool is looking to finalize the deal to strengthen their midfield. (footballtransfers.com)
