Liverpool Target PSG’s Bradley Barcola as Mohamed Salah Replacement After Yan Diomande Agrees PSG Move

Liverpool have identified Bradley Barcola as they plan for life after Mohamed Salah, with Yan Diomande agreed on a move to Paris Saint-Germain.

Liverpool’s search for a wide forward has a name on it. Bradley Barcola, already a Paris Saint-Germain attacker, is the profile they want as Mohamed Salah’s role is reshaped. The timing is awkward for PSG, who have just agreed a deal for Yan Diomande and do not need to be told what a proven winger is worth.

Barcola’s game is direct: he attacks the space behind a full-back and finishes with either foot when the box opens up. That is the job Salah has done for the best part of a decade at Anfield. Replacing the output is a different task from admiring it.

Nothing is agreed. The interest is real enough to set the price, and PSG rarely sell a starter without naming one.
