Liverpool are preparing an opening offer for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola as they intensify their search for a long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah.
The 23-year-old France international has emerged as the club’s preferred target, although PSG are reportedly seeking around £145 million for his services, a figure that would shatter the British transfer record.
Liverpool are understood to be aiming closer to the £100 million mark, with Barcola believed to be open to a move after slipping down the pecking order in Paris.
The Reds have turned their focus to the Frenchman after missing out on Yan Diomande, who is expected to join Real Madrid.
