Barcola Says YES! Liverpool FC Push to Complete Huge Deal
Liverpool enter what could be a pivotal week in their summer transfer window — and the message is increasingly simple: get it done.
On today's Newsround with Dave Davis, Dave looks at the latest developments surrounding Bradley Barcola, with the PSG winger reportedly giving Liverpool the green light on personal terms while negotiations over the transfer fee continue. PSG's own attacking business could prove crucial, and Liverpool may now be waiting for the French champions to bring players through the door before Barcola is allowed to leave.
Meanwhile, Ronald Araujo's arrival is effectively complete, with Liverpool and Barcelona exchanging documents following his medical. But Dave examines why the experienced defender could ultimately be more of a short-term solution than the long-term defensive answer some supporters are hoping for.
The biggest concern, however, could be in midfield. Liverpool looked dangerous going forward against Monaco, but Dave believes the combination of Ryan Gravenberch, Dominik Szoboszlai and Florian Wirtz leaves Iraola's side vulnerable defensively. That brings Lamine Camara firmly into the conversation. Could the Monaco midfielder provide the defensive steel Liverpool currently lack?
There's also discussion around Curtis Jones, the quiet Ibrahim Mbaye situation, Endrick links, PSG's transfer activity and what Liverpool still need to accomplish with the Premier League season rapidly approaching.
Liverpool have attacking quality. They have Araujo arriving. Barcola wants the move. But with just 13 days until the Premier League season begins, can Liverpool finally turn negotiations into signings?
