Liverpool FC NewsTransfer NewsTransfersWith Liverpool set to make an opening bid for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, take a look at where the Reds stand in the latest betting odds to sign the FrenchmanLiverpool are considered clear favorites to sign Bradley Barcola, but they still have to agree on a transfer fee(Image: Getty Images)The Bradley Barcola transfer saga is officially underway as Liverpool prepares to make an opening bid for the Paris Saint-Germain and France winger.Ahead of Andoni Iraola’s first season in charge at Anfield, the Reds have identified Barcola as their top target of this summer’s transfer window, and reports suggest the club is now ready to make its first move for the 23-year-old attacker.While Barcola is said to have given the green light to a move to Merseyside, no deal will be considered close until Liverpool and PSG agree to a transfer fee and club and player finalize personal terms.The Athletic’s James Pearce reported Wednesday that Liverpool are set to table an opening bid for Barcola, although the club has “no intention” of going near PSG’s $193 million (£145 million) valuation of their star winger. Rather, the Reds’ bid is expected to come in around $132 million (£100 million).Despite the sizable gap between Liverpool’s expected bid and PSG’s asking price, oddsmakers still consider the Reds to be clear frontrunners to sign Barcola.Liverpool are -333 favorites to be Barcola’s next club at the end of the summer transfer window, a price that has shortened significantly in recent days after the Frenchman expressed his desire to join Iraola’s project.Barcola is reportedly after a move to Anfield(Image: Photo by Stefan Koops/EYE4IMAGES/NurPhoto via Getty Images)Arsenal were considered to be in the race for the PSG man after losing out on Morgan Rogers to Chelsea, but the reigning Premier League champions are now clear second-favorites behind Liverpool with +350 odds.
No other club in the market is shorter than +800 odds to land Barcola.Although all parties seem to want the transfer to happen, it would come as no surprise if the saga gets drawn out over the coming weeks while the two clubs negotiate a fee.After splashing the cash on Florian Wirtz ($156 million) and Alexander Isak ($170 million) last summer, Liverpool will want PSG to reduce their current asking price to avoid paying another record transfer fee.Given what the Reds’ domestic rivals have already paid out this summer, including Manchester City for Elliott Anderson ($155 million) and Chelsea for Rogers ($156 million), getting Barcola for anything below, say $150 million, may be asking too much.Barcola is one of the biggest attacking names in world soccer expected to be on the move this summer after wrapping up a successful World Cup campaign with France, in which he scored three goals in eight games.Across three seasons with PSG, Barcola primarily featured off the bench as the club won back-to-back UEFA Champions League titles.This information is intended for informational and entertainment purposes only and should not be relied upon for financial reasons or to determine a specific course of action.
