TRANSFER TWIST: Liverpool Could Target PSG’s Bradley Barcola if Isak Deal Fails – Romano Reveals “Dream Option”
In a fresh twist to Liverpool’s summer transfer plans, highly reputable journalist Fabrizio Romano has reported that Bradley Barcola has emerged as a top alternative should the club’s pursuit of Alexander Isak fail to materialize.
The Reds have long admired Isak, who has quickly become one of the Premier League’s most coveted forwards following his standout performances with Newcastle United. His combination of pace, skill, and clinical finishing make him a natural fit for Liverpool’s evolving attacking setup under Arne Slot. However, Newcastle remain firm in their stance, showing no willingness to part ways with the Swedish striker, especially this late in the window.
That stalemate has prompted Liverpool to consider other options—and that’s where Bradley Barcola comes in.
The 21-year-old French winger, currently at Paris Saint-Germain, is seen within the Liverpool camp as a “dream signing” due to his explosive pace, versatility, and immense potential. Barcola is capable of operating across the front line, but is especially dangerous on the left flank—making him an ideal long-term asset and stylistic fit for Liverpool’s high-octane attack.
Romano clarified that, as of now, Liverpool have not yet opened formal talks with PSG or reached out to Barcola’s agent. However, he emphasized that Barcola could become a serious target if Newcastle completely shut the door on Isak’s exit.
With just a few weeks left in the summer transfer window, Liverpool are preparing for all outcomes. Their strategy appears measured yet flexible: push for their top target (Isak), but be ready to act swiftly if the situation calls for it
