Liverpool<\/a> have reportedly turned attention towards signing Paris Saint-Germain<\/a> winger Bradley Barcola<\/a> after missing out on AFC Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Reds could look to bolster their forward department in the January window after the squad was depleted following the injury to Alexander Isak<\/a>, who could be out for a few months after undergoing surgery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

With Cody Gakpo currently out injured and Mohamed Salah away from the club to represent his country at the Africa Cup of Nations, the Reds are in dire need of a new forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Premier League champions have been linked with a move for Semenyo in recent months, but they have suffered a blow in the race to land him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Ghana winger reportedly prefers to join Manchester City<\/a> over other suitors, forcing the Reds to look for options elsewhere.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Liverpool eye move for Barcola?\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to a report from Caughtoffside<\/a>, Barcola is emerging as a possible alternative option for Liverpool in the January window.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Arne Slot is reportedly a keen admirer of the 23-year-old winger, who is equally comfortable playing on both flanks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The French attacker has scored five goals in 13 Ligue 1 appearances this season and has also registered two assists in the Champions League.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Barcola has a contract at PSG until 2028, and the club highly value him for his\u00a0pressing, ball progression and ability to destabilise defences.<\/p>\n

Difficult to sign Barcola in January\u00a0

Barcola would be a cracking signing for the Reds, but it would take a massive transfer fee to lure him away from the French club.\u00a0<\/p>\n

PSG would be reluctant to weaken their squad in the middle of the season, but Liverpool can lay the groundwork now for a raid in the 2026 summer window.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Liverpool have reportedly made contact with Karim Adeyemi<\/a>‘s representatives<\/a> over a potential move in the January window, and he could be a realistic target.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Liverpool have reportedly turned attention towards signing Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola after missing out on AFC Bournemouth’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":334121,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[4985,5906,218,372,5904,3553,5905,221,5903,217,101,3022,5907,118,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-334120","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-cycling","9":"tag-epl","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-formula-1","12":"tag-golf","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-olympics","15":"tag-premier-league","16":"tag-rugby","17":"tag-sport","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-sports-mole","20":"tag-teams","21":"tag-tennis","22":"tag-uk","23":"tag-united-kingdom","24":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334120","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334120"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334120\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/334121"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334120"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334120"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334120"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
