Liverpool are long-term admirers of Barcola and have maintained regular contact with the player’s camp throughout their simultaneous tracking of Diomande. According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the 23-year-old’s situation “remains absolutely open” as he firmly occupies a spot “high on Liverpool’s list” a position Anfield chiefs have maintained for several months.

Romano notes that if both Yan Diomandé and Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche finalise their heavily anticipated moves to the Parc des Princes, Barcola’s future could shift radically “in case of a big proposal.” With Liverpool having been “keen since summer 2025,” Richard Hughes is well-positioned to turn long-term admiration into a concrete, high-stakes bid. ?? Bradley Barcola situation remains absolutely open as he’s high on Liverpool list, as reported for months.

Yet, as Hughes and head coach Andoni Iraola map out a revamped, high-intensity frontline following Salah’s departure, Barcola’s profiling across the front three makes him an incredibly high-value alternative if the French club’s resolve softens. If Diomande’s move to PSG forces Barcola onto the market, Richard Hughes must act decisively to beat Arsenal to his signature and hand Andoni Iraola the elite attacking reinforcement this squad desperately requires.
