Liverpool complete signing of Bradley Barcola in club's second-biggest transfer
France winger signs five-year deal from Paris Saint-Germain; fee €125m, rising to €145m with bonuses.
On 31.08.2026 Liverpool confirmed the signing of France international Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain in a transfer worth €125 million, with add-ons that could raise the total to €145 million.
The 23-year-old winger has agreed a five-year contract with an option for a further season and is expected to be a central attacking option under head coach Andoni Iraola.
Contract and background
Barcola joined PSG from Lyon in 2023 and, according to the club announcement, won two Champions League titles with the Paris side. Liverpool will pay an initial fee of €125m; performance-related bonuses could push the package to €145m.
"I am very happy that I can now play for Liverpool. The transfer took a long time, but now I only want to be on the pitch and play. I hope we will achieve great success, and above all I want to win the Premier League — it is one of my biggest life ambitions. I want to stay at the club for a long time, which is why I signed a long-term contract. I had the opportunity to play at Anfield twice and felt the incredible atmosphere and support from the fans. When I learned of Liverpool's interest, I did not hesitate at all — I immediately realised this is a huge club for me," Barcola said.
The deal is the second-most expensive in Liverpool's history, behind only the transfer of Alexander Isak. The club and manager Iraola will now integrate Barcola into a squad looking to bolster its attacking options for the season ahead.
