Liverpool have finalized an agreement to sign France forward Bradley Barcola from European champions Paris Saint-Germain in a deal worth up to £123 million ($166m), according to media reports. The 23-year-old is set to become the latest high-profile addition to Andoni Iraola's squad.

The 20-time English champions will pay a package worth £106 million ($143m), with add-ons potentially rising to £17 million ($23m), the BBC reported on Saturday. The Athletic reported that Barcola is set to sign a five-year contract.

Barcola joined PSG from boyhood club Olympique Lyonnais in 2023 and enjoyed a trophy-laden spell in the French capital, winning back-to-back Champions League titles in 2024-25 and 2025-26, three Ligue 1 crowns, and two French Cups, among other honors.

He made 152 appearances in all competitions for PSG, scoring 39 goals and providing 37 assists. He had two years remaining on his PSG contract.

Barcola would be the latest addition to new manager Iraola's squad following the close-season arrivals of Uruguayan defender Ronald Araujo on loan, French center-back Jeremy Jacquet, and Spanish forward Victor Munoz.

Liverpool's attacking options currently include British record signing Alexander Isak, Cody Gakpo, Rio Ngumoha, and Munoz as the Merseyside club adjusts to life after talisman Mohamed Salah's departure. Forward Hugo Ekitike is sidelined with a long-term injury.

Liverpool host Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
