\n<\/p>\n

Liverpool and Arsenal have been warned that signing Bradley Barcola will require one of the biggest transfer packages in English football history.
<\/strong>
Paris Saint-Germain value the 23-year-old at \u00a3145 million, despite the winger not always being guaranteed a starting role under Luis Enrique.<\/p>\n

Liverpool need an established wide forward following Mohamed Salah\u2019s departure and see Barcola\u2019s speed, direct running and ability to play on either flank as ideal for their rebuild.<\/p>\n

Arsenal are also searching for greater quality on the left after missing out on Morgan Rogers to Chelsea.<\/p>\n

Barcola\u2019s position remains interesting because PSG have significant competition across their attack.<\/p>\n

However, the European champions are financially secure and have no reason to approve a discounted sale, leaving both Premier League clubs with a difficult decision.<\/p>\n

PSG set huge price as Premier League interest grows<\/h2>\n

According to The Times, PSG will demand approximately \u00a3145 million before considering Barcola\u2019s departure.<\/p>\n

Liverpool and Arsenal are interested, but neither club has yet shown a willingness to meet that valuation.<\/p>\n

PSG are reportedly using this summer\u2019s inflated Premier League market as a reference point,\u00a0 including Chelsea\u2019s \u00a3117 million signing of Rogers and Manchester City\u2019s \u00a3116 million deal for Elliot Anderson.<\/p>\n

Barcola remains highly regarded in Paris, even though competition from Ousmane Demb\u00e9l\u00e9, D\u00e9sir\u00e9 Dou\u00e9 and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has limited his starting opportunities.<\/p>\n

He also strengthened his reputation by scoring three times during France\u2019s 2026 World Cup campaign.<\/p>\n

Liverpool have greater need than Arsenal<\/h2>\n

talkSPORT reports that Liverpool have already held initial discussions and view Barcola as a leading option after ending their pursuit of Yan Diomande.<\/p>\n

Arsenal remain attentive, but Liverpool currently appear to have the clearer vacancy in their attack.<\/p>\n

Barcola would provide the acceleration and one-against-one threat Liverpool lost with Salah, while his versatility would give Andoni Iraola several tactical options.<\/p>\n

Arsenal could also use him to add more unpredictability alongside Bukayo Saka and their central attackers.<\/p>\n

Both clubs should remain interested without accepting PSG\u2019s full demand. Barcola is an elite talent with room to improve, but \u00a3145 million is a superstar price for someone who has not consistently been PSG\u2019s first-choice winger.<\/p>\n

Liverpool\u2019s need may be greater, yet they should negotiate firmly. Unless Barcola actively pushes to leave or PSG lower their valuation, pursuing a more affordable alternative would represent smarter business.<\/p>\n
