Liverpool<\/a> are getting \u2018closer\u2019 to signing Bradley Barcola this summer as \u2018there\u2019s no chance\u2019 Bayern Munich can compete, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The Reds have already signed one winger this summer in the form of Victor Munoz but the signing of the Spain international from Osasuna will not stop them bringing in another.<\/p>\n

Liverpool<\/a> are still looking for that top-class target to replace Mohamed Salah this summer after the Egyptian left at the end of the season for a new challenge.<\/p>\n

RB Leipzig\u2019s Yan Diomande had been their top summer target, even submitting a bid, but now he\u2019s set to make a move to Real Madrid this summer.<\/p>\n

That has seen Liverpool switch targets to Barcola with rumours that the Paris Saint-Germain star is not going to sign a new deal at the Parc des Princes and wants to move to Anfield.<\/p>\n

Giving an update on the situation on Friday, transfer insider Fabrizio Romano revealed<\/a>: \u201cContacts continue between Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain and the player\u2019s representatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe key point is the transfer fee. There will be no problem regarding the player\u2019s contract, personal terms or the project. Bradley Barcola is very keen on Liverpool and is excited by the move.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe discussions are continuing, but Liverpool will need to make a significant financial investment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe club must determine how much they are willing to pay PSG before the deal can happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing is imminent. There has been talk of a bid being prepared, but this is not the main issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cLiverpool want Barcola and they will make a bid. The agreement with the player will also come. The real challenge is reaching a financial agreement with Paris Saint-Germain.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat could take time because PSG have already lost several attacking players and are still completing other business.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe French club also need time to secure replacements before allowing another important forward to leave.\u201d<\/p>\n

Liverpool are getting \u2018closer\u2019 to Barcola as Bayern Munich won\u2019t threaten<\/p>\n

There were some reports that Bayern Munich could be a threat to Liverpool\u2019s attempts to sign Barcola but Sport Bild journalist Christian Falk insists the Bundesliga club won\u2019t get in the way of a deal this summer.<\/p>\n

Falk wrote on his own website<\/a>:\u00a0\u2018Bayern Munich are following this potential transfer of Bradley Barcola to Liverpool. Last summer, and the summer before, they were always in contact with the Frenchman\u2019s management.<\/p>\n

\u2018The 23-year-old is a player on the shortlist, and even this summer they knocked on Barcola\u2019s door to check his situation and what his feelings were for the future, as his current contract runs out in 2028. There are no negotiations with PSG, at the moment, for a contract extension, so he\u2019s getting cheaper and cheaper every year.<\/p>\n

\u2018The left-sided winger is too expensive this summer for Bayern Munich, but it\u2019s a pity that he\u2019s not too expensive for Liverpool right now! They are closer to this deal. Yan Diomande, it seems, will be signing for Real Madrid, so Liverpool really need a player like Barcola now.<\/p>\n

\u2018Bayern, on the other hand, could use a player like this in the future. We don\u2019t know what\u2019s happening with Michael Olise long-term. This summer, of course, we know he\u2019s staying put, but next summer the big question will be whether Olise signs a new contract or if Bayern will be forced to sell him.<\/p>\n

\u2018The number one option to replace Michael Olise would be, as far as Bayern Munich are concerned, Bradley Barcola. If Liverpool are there, however, and if he\u2019s signing for the Reds, there\u2019s no chance for Bayern. But next summer, there could be a chance if he\u2019s staying in Paris for another season.\u2019<\/p>\n
