In a major development grabbing headlines, French winger Bradley Barcola has finally spoken out about the swirling rumors connecting him to a stunning move to Liverpool, brushing off reports of a £300 million valuation as “just a number.”
After a breakthrough year at Paris Saint-Germain, Barcola broke his silence in a surprise Monday morning interview, addressing the speculation that Liverpool manager Arne Slot is eyeing him as a key signing.
“I’ve seen all the stories and heard all the figures — £300 million, £250 million, whatever people say,” Barcola told L’Équipe. “But for me, it’s only a number. It doesn’t change who I am or how I play.”
The 21-year-old winger has been strongly linked to Anfield as Liverpool look to revamp their attack, especially with Mohamed Salah reportedly heading to Saudi Arabia this summer. Sources close to the matter claim Liverpool have already contacted Barcola’s camp. PSG, however, remain hesitant to sell, though an eye-watering bid could force their hand.
Barcola’s remarks have only intensified the speculation.
“Liverpool? It’s a huge club with a proud history. Any player would feel honoured,” he continued. “But my focus is on my game. If I make a move, it’s to win. That’s always been my mindset.”
Barcola, who netted 12 goals and contributed 15 assists across all competitions last season, is regarded as one of Europe’s most promising attacking talents. With his blistering pace, skillful dribbling, and creative spark, some fans have already drawn parallels with former Liverpool legends.
Supporters quickly took to social media after the interview, with #BarcolaToLiverpool trending just minutes after the story broke.
Although no formal offer has been announced, sources suggest Liverpool may soon table a record-breaking bid. Whether Barcola ultimately makes the switch to Anfield remains uncertain — but it’s clear this transfer saga is only just beginning.
