Liverpool Bradley Barcola deal gets costlier

Liverpool’s move for Bradley Barcola is set to be even more expensive than first expected.

According to English journalist Ben Jacobs, the club will not only pay the huge transfer fee but also cover the training compensation owed to Olympique Lyon. That adds another five million euros to the deal.

The extra payment may not change the overall scale of the transfer, though. Liverpool are already expected to send as much as 144 million euros to Paris Saint-Germain for the French international. Barcola is due in Liverpool on Saturday evening and will then undergo his medical.

The deal underlines how determined Liverpool are to land one of Europe’s most sought-after wide players. It also shows how far the club is willing to go to complete a transfer that has already pushed into elite financial territory.

For Barcola, the move would mark a major step in his career and a chance to test himself in the Premier League. For Liverpool, it is another bold statement as they continue to reshape their squad with top-level talent.
