Fabrizio Romano: Liverpool now make £116m ‘superstar’ their top transfer target this summer…

Fabrizio Romano: Liverpool has identified £116m ‘superstar’ as their primary transfer target this summer.

Liverpool has prioritized Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola on their summer transfer agenda, with Fabrizio Romano providing the latest news regarding the France international’s potential move to Anfield.

This summer already feels pivotal for Liverpool, especially after Arne Slot was succeeded by Andoni Iraola as head coach, alongside the departure of long-standing key players such as Andy Robertson, Ibrahima Konate, and Mohamed Salah.

With the summer transfer window remaining open for another two months, the only signing made by the Reds thus far is Spain international winger Victor Munoz.

The Merseyside club was also optimistic about securing their desired replacement for Salah in Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig; however, the Ivorian teenager has opted for a move to PSG, although no progress has been made on that front yet.

Liverpool is exploring additional winger options, with GIVEMESPORT senior correspondent Ben Jacobs reporting interest in players like Said El Mala, Yankuba Minteh, and Matias Fernandez-Pardo, the latter currently participating in the 2026 World Cup with Belgium.

The Reds have maintained a long-standing interest in Barcola, having attempted to acquire him from the Parc des Princes last summer, and it seems they may soon make another effort.

Romano: Liverpool Requires ‘Significant Offer’ to Acquire Barcola

With the Diomande deal appearing to be off the table, Romano indicates that Liverpool has now placed Barcola at the ‘top of their list’ as they aim to secure a prominent winger ahead of the upcoming season.

Certainly, Liverpool’s chances of signing Barcola could improve if PSG finalizes a deal for Yan Diomande, while they are also considering a move for Monaco forward Maghnes Akliouche.

Romano indicates that it is now Liverpool’s turn to present a substantial offer for the French ‘superstar’, as mentioned in his latest YouTube video, with the Athletic reporting that the French club values him at over £116m.

He stated: “A significant proposal is necessary. Therefore, it falls to Liverpool, for instance. Liverpool has Barcola at the top of their list, meaning Barcola consistently remains a priority for them. I’ve been saying this for months. I have always reminded you not to overlook Barcola.

“Now, we find ourselves with Barcola as a serious target for Liverpool, but it ultimately hinges on their financial capabilities to negotiate an agreement with Paris and Germain, so we must closely monitor Barcola’s situation.”

Liverpool is Considering an Unexpected Move for Brazilian Talent

This week, reports surfaced that Liverpool is also considering an unexpected move to acquire Fulham’s Brazilian winger, Kevin.

The 23-year-old recently joined the Cottagers in a record-setting deal last summer. Although he displayed glimpses of his potential, his start in English football has been relatively slow.

Out of his 26 Premier League appearances last season, 17 were as a substitute, and he managed to contribute just one goal and two assists in the top tier of English football.

It remains uncertain whether Liverpool will solidify their reported interest in the South American player, but fans of the Reds will undoubtedly hope for a more prominent name to come in as a replacement for Salah.
