Fabrizio Romano has revealed that Bradley Barcola is giving \u2018priority\u2019 to Liverpool<\/a> in the summer transfer window \u2018if they can get a deal done\u2019 with Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n

The Reds are looking to bring in another winger, after the signing of Spain international Victor Munoz from Osasuna, to replace Egypt star Mohamed Salah.<\/p>\n

Liverpool<\/a> announced in March that Salah would be allowed to leave Anfield in the summer transfer window in order to pursue a new challenge.<\/p>\n

Some reports have indicated that Salah is on the verge of a move to Turkish side Besiktas but Liverpool have been struggled to bring in his replacement.<\/p>\n

RB Leipzig\u2019s Yan Diomande had been the Reds\u2019 top target this summer but interest from Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid has put an end to that pursuit.<\/p>\n

However, things could be starting to move now with reports from France earlier in the day<\/a> indicating that Barcola has no intention of renewing his deal in Paris.<\/p>\n

And, in follow up posts, both Fabrizio Romano and Ben Jacobs have revealed the extent of interest from Liverpool, with the former insisting that the Reds are \u2018leading the race\u2019 and that Barcola has given priority to the Premier League side.<\/p>\n

Romano posted on X<\/a>: \u2018Liverpool have been leading the race for Bradley Barcola since April \u2014 and they are working on the deal. Understand Barcola\u2019s open to the move and gives priority to #LFC project if they can get a deal done with PSG. Liverpool, waiting for PSG indications on price\/details.\u2019<\/p>\n

One of the reasons a deal is still far from certain is PSG\u2019s asking price for Barcola with Jacobs insisting that the French champions want \u20ac170m for their attacker.<\/p>\n

Jacobs wrote on X<\/a>: \u2018BREAKING: PSG value Bradley Barcola at \u20ac170m and are using the transfers of Morgan Rogers and Elliot Anderson as valuation yardsticks. The number factors in that Barcola is a back-to-back Champions League winner, had a strong World Cup and is only 23.<\/p>\n

\u2018Plus, multiple clubs have made enquiries. PSG are prepared to sell, though, and Liverpool will hope to get the price down. \u2060Luis Enrique has been clear that he only wants players committed to PSG, and that he won\u2019t guarantee anyone a starting spot.\u2019<\/p>\n

Jacobs added: \u2018Nasser Al-Khelaifi will be directly involved in any Bradley Barcola exit talks along with Luis Campos. PSG\u2019s project is built on players who want to stay meaning a Barcola exit, in the absence of a new deal agreed, has always been possible.\u2019<\/p>\n
