Allegedly

quote:

Liverpool have allegedly completed a deal with PSG for Bradley Barcola in the summer transfer window. Transfer news reporter Pedro Almeida claimed on X (formerly Twitter) that the Reds had reached an agreement to the tune of €128m [£109.7m]. The France international is understood to have agreed a five-year deal (with the option of an additional year).

I like it.. low risk and possibly high reward..

I realize he's been injured a bit lately and seems to have had confidence issues after those red cards in the UCL... I think he'll benefit from a change of scenerey and the EPL suits his playing style..

If he doesnt work out, he goes back next season and Jacquet and Leoni are that much farther along..

Were you watching on CBS? I thought there was commentary rolling, although not regular match caliber.

Something was wrong with their audio - the first fifteen minutes or so was just stadium noise and it was glorious. Then the commentators kicked in.

Season starts soon.

We have a lot of business to complete. And then integrate. I have never understood not trying to get transfer business done early. You tend to know in late may or early June what needs to be done.

BBC post game comments

friggin oof, Iraola said that his side played a good first 30 minutes but "they don't have much more, in terms of the levels required to play like this".

Pretty telling on what Slot was (or wasnt doing) in training. Also makes sense on why they looked absolutely gassed in the last stages of a lot of games.

No Jones in the starting XI today. Just tuned in before the first goal…

BEAUITIFUL pass from Frimpong to Gakpo, and a great first touch and finish from the Dutch Bro. (brought to you by Carl’s Jr.).

Missed the second goal, but solid 2-0 win. Love the urgency I see in recovering the ball and starting the counter. Clear difference in attacking mindset post-Slot.

I think after Christmas I think there is potential to see Liverpool playing tails-up football again.

Depth is still an issue. Rio needs to mature a bit in final-third decisions, but also still want him taking on defenders AND shots. He’ll grow as the season goes on.

Loved seeing Jacquet getting a goal already. Guy is massive.

Gakpo with a goal and assist is big. I am starting to hope we keep him. He takes focus off of the others because of the threat of passes and shots. Rio can learn a lot from him, and will look better if we can get good striker play.

I love Isak, but I still prefer Ekitike… I hope he can come back healthy.

I didn’t get to watch but everyone online is talking about how immense Jacquet looked

Sure would be nice to have our long term VVD replacement locked up

Jacquet and Araujo good... That's really the first time I'd ever seen Jacquet play a match and was really impressed... Frimpong, for once, didnt look useless at RB today..

I dont really like Rio on the right... just doesnt seem to suit his skillset...

quote:

PSG began talks by demanding £145m for the France international. However, they have since lowered his price tag to £125m.

Liverpool are willing to go up to £120m to sign Barcola. The two clubs are getting closer in discussions, but there is still work to be done before a final agreement is reached.

TEAMtalk add that PSG have cast out Barcola and Mbaye, as they will not play the forwards while their futures remain unresolved.

PSG want £43-50m for Mbaye, whereas Liverpool believe they can strike a deal for the lower price of £30m.

As such, Liverpool could snare Mbaye and Barcola in a potential £155m double deal.


Our friends at TEAMtalk confirmed on Monday that Andoni Iraola’s side have agreed personal terms with both attackers.










quote:

Liverpool has no plans to sell Cody Gakpo despite continued interest from Tottenham, with the situation surrounding the forward yet to develop into formal transfer talks.

According to The Athletic's Seb Stafford-Bloor, Tottenham remain interested and have held discussions with Gakpo's representatives, but there have been no negotiations between the two clubs.

Liverpool's stance remains clear: the Dutch international is not for sale, with four years still remaining on his contract.






quote:

Curtis Jones has been strongly linked with a move to Inter Milan, who are likely to make another attempt to bring the midfielder to the San Siro, and the 25-year-old is said to be keen on joining the Nerazzurri (Fabrizio Romano).

Sources for the outlet have indicated that Inter could strike a deal for Jones in the region of €35m (£30m), with the midfielder being a 'priority target' for the Serie A champions.

Liverpool are in an unenviable situation with Jones, who's now into the final year of his contract and seemingly has no interest in extending that deal, judging by his reported eagerness for a move to Inter.

Despite club figures maintaining that he's been nursing a minor injury, his absence from the recent friendlies against Monaco and Como seemed to hint that an exit could be imminent and it's just a matter of settling the final few details with the Nerazzurri.

More smoke that Curtis is heading to inter.

I don’t have a good deal for our hometown numbers but it’s got to be tight.

Cody may stay - or just speaking as if he will so that spurs bid higher. Ideally I’d like
Him to stay as we need depth for a full season and would be an ideal sub for many games too.

Tyler Adams rumors


Haven’t seen those. If they are real, I’m split on it.

LFC side of me does not want. Too spacey at times, loses positioning and causes goal concessions.

USMNT side says send him NOW. Having him learn from Endo, VvD, and Grav/Szobo would be fricking PEAK.

There have been rumours that PSG want as much as €150m for the France international, while recent reports have suggested that the French side could now accept a deal as low as €130m.
And respected journalist Fabrice Hawkins reckons the “next written offer” from Liverpool will be accepted and “gets it done”.

Speaking on the After Foot podcast, Hawkins said: “Bradley Barcola wants to join Liverpool. PSG were informed earlier of his desire, and it was accepted.

“There’s no intention to keep Bradley Barcola. The sticking point has been the valuation, where they started at €170m.

“Liverpool have made different verbal offers. They’ve made offers since the verbal one, but there hasn’t been a written offer yet because, at this level, I think the next written offer will be the one that gets it done.

“We’ve understood that it would be somewhere between €130m and €150m, but in any case, it won’t be below €120m for Bradley Barcola.
Everyone involved in this deal thinks there will be an agreement.”
