Liverpool<\/a> must sell one of their current stars in order to fund a move for PSG forward Bradley Barcola this summer. <\/p>\n

The Reds have been heavily linked to signing a new winger in the summer transfer window, with Barcola identified as a key target for the Merseyside club. <\/p>\n

Liverpool are in the market to replace Mohamed Salah, who left the club on a free transfer earlier in the window. <\/p>\n

Replacing his goals in the side certainly won’t be easy, especially as they were unable to get a transfer fee for him. <\/p>\n

Barcola could be that long-term option for the Reds, but they may be forced to sell one of their current players in order to fund a move. <\/p>\n

According to a report from journalist Marc Mechenoua, Liverpool must sell forward Cody Gakpo before they are able to make a move to sign PSG winger Barcola. <\/p>\n

Gakpo is currently earning \u00a3250,000 a week at Anfield<\/a>, so offloading him in the summer transfer window would be financially beneficial for Liverpool. <\/p>\n

The Reds are also believed to be looking to make way in the squad for young winger Rio Ngumoha, clearly hoping to overhaul their forward options. <\/p>\n

Barcola an upgrade on Gakpo<\/p>\n

If Liverpool can offload Gakpo for a reasonable fee in the summer transfer window and replace him with Barcola, that would certainly be a net positive for the Reds.<\/p>\n

The PSG winger is undoubtedly an upgrade on Gakpo, especially when you take into account his potential. <\/p>\n

Gakpo has struggled with consistency since his move to Liverpool, and Barcola is more capable of playing on both sides. <\/p>\n

How much Liverpool could receive in terms of a transfer fee for Gakpo remains to be seen, but either way, cashing in on him makes sense given his wages too. <\/p>\n

It’s still going to be a difficult deal for them to bring Barcola to the club, but they appear willing to give it a go. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool must sell one of their current stars in order to fund a move for PSG forward Bradley…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":571795,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[42,43,40,38,41,39],"class_list":["post-571794","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571794","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=571794"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/571794\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/571795"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=571794"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=571794"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=571794"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
