Team report: Liverpool aims at Barcola Rodrigo, Paris asks Barcola to 100 million euros

August 7, the team newspaper reported that Liverpool continued to buy big, targeting Balcola and Rodrigo.

Liverpool's spending in this transfer window seems not to end. After Newcastle rejected their offer of more than 120 million euros, the Reds turned their attention to Paris Saint-Germain's Barcola to strengthen their forward strength. In addition to the French international, the Reds are also interested in Brazilian striker Rodrigo.

Previously, Liverpool had signed Wiltz and others, but the team is still looking for a striker and spares no expense. They have reportedly made a offer of 120 million to 138 million euros to Newcastle in an attempt to sign Swedish striker Isak. Since Newcastle is reluctant to let Isaac go, Liverpool began to consider other options, but did not give up Isaac. The two candidates are: Brazilian striker Rodrigo (24 years old, contracted to 2028), whose status in Real Madrid has been affected by the arrival of Mbappe; and Balcola (22 years old, contracted to 2028). Balcola is currently ranked fourth in Paris Saint-Germain’s attack line, behind Dembele, Kvaratshelia and Douai. Despite signs that he may renew his contract, Liverpool has long been watching the French international and convinced him to join.

For Paris Saint-Germain, if they were to sell Balcola, they needed a very convincing offer. Two years ago, Paris Saint-Germain spent 50 million euros to sign Balcola from Lyon. Given that he is one of his direct competitors, it is unlikely that the club will let him leave for less than €100 million.
