Sky Sports Germany\u2019s Florian Plettenberg reports on X (formerly Twitter) that \u2018nothing is advanced\u2019 as far as negotiations with PSG are concerned.<\/p>\n

The Ligue 1 champions are thought to be looking for a fee well in excess of \u00a3100m.<\/p>\n

PSG want an \u2018extraordinary offer\u2019 for Bradley Barcola<\/p>\n

From our perspective, it\u2019s difficult to imagine Liverpool\u2019s decision-makers having much in the way of wiggle room beyond the \u00a3100m \u2013 at the very least, not significantly beyond that price point.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udea8\u23f3 Sources close to Bradley Barcola confirm that talks are ongoing between Liverpool and the player\u2019s camp. As reported. <\/p>\n

However, nothing is advanced at this stage and no agreement has been reached with PSG yet. #LFC<\/a> <\/p>\n

We\u2019re already painfully aware of the fact that the Reds don\u2019t have the same kind of lofty budget they were working with last summer. So a nine-figure deal for the France international is already likely going to leave us counting pennies to cover off other key areas of the squad.<\/p>\n

Of course, we have to also accept that Luis Enrique\u2019s personal position on the matter of Bradley Barcola\u2019s refusal to sign a new contract<\/a> means that PSG\u2019s hand is perhaps not as strong as they might have first presumed.<\/p>\n

So we\u2019re not entirely convinced that the Ligue 1 outfit will actually be able to secure the kind of \u201cextraordinary offer\u201d they\u2019re supposedly holding out for.<\/p>\n

Liverpool may have to be wary of Arsenal bidding war<\/p>\n

There is, of course, the possibility that Arsenal\u2019s potential involvement in the race could convince PSG to hold firm on their internal valuation of the versatile winger.<\/p>\n

Though we would feel inclined to point out that the Gunners\u2019 hesitance in meeting Aston Villa\u2019s asking price for Morgan Rogers<\/a> (being unwilling to go above \u00a380m) indicates that the race for Barcola is too rich for their blood.<\/p>\n

Desperation could always change matters, but if Arsenal really rated the left-sided winger higher, they would have surely already signposted their interest as clearly as Liverpool have.<\/p>\n

And, ultimately, if he\u2019s not a key target, we have to question the logic behind anyone suggesting the Premier League title holders would be prepared to blow their valuation of Rogers out of the water for the France international.<\/p>\n

It just doesn\u2019t seem like the kind of deal Arsenal would be prepared to seriously engage in \u2013 not without Bradley Barcola\u2019s asking price first plumetting.<\/p>\n
