Liverpool Keeping Tabs on PSG’s Bradley Barcola Amid Alexander Isak Pursuit

Liverpool are reportedly keeping a close eye on Bradley Barcola’s situation at Paris Saint-Germain this summer.

This interest comes as the Reds continue to chase Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, though progress on that front depends on whether the Magpies can secure a suitable replacement for the Swedish international.

Should a deal for Isak collapse, Arne Slot’s side could shift their focus to Barcola as an alternative option in the attacking department.

Barcola on Liverpool’s Radar – But No Advanced Talks Yet

Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reports that while Liverpool are monitoring Barcola, no formal offer has been made, nor have there been any advanced negotiations with the player’s representatives.

For now, Isak remains Liverpool’s primary attacking target, especially with Darwin Núñez expected to make a move to Saudi Arabia this summer.

Barcola’s Talent Recognised – But Development Concerns Remain

There’s no denying Barcola’s talent at just 22 years old, but questions remain about whether signing the French winger would block the pathway of rising star Rio Ngumoha, 16, who recently joined from Chelsea. Liverpool have publicly stated their desire to avoid obstructing young talent, which could see them lean toward a more experienced option instead.

Rodrygo a More Viable Option?

Real Madrid’s Rodrygo, 24, is another name being floated. The versatile Brazilian forward, with ample experience on the right, might be a better fit if Liverpool succeed in signing Isak. However, Rodrygo reportedly prefers playing on the left, which again raises concerns about limiting Ngumoha’s first-team opportunities.

While Ngumoha isn’t expected to feature heavily this season — possibly logging fewer than 1,000 minutes — unless there are plans to move on from Cody Gakpo next summer, adding another young left-sided winger could complicate squad planning.

Ultimately, Liverpool’s top attacking priority remains clear: taking advantage of the unique opportunity to sign Alexander Isak.
