Liverpool consider Barcola after Semenyo snub

Liverpool were heavily linked with Antoine Semenyo ahead of the January transfer window, but their interest in the Bournemouth winger has cooled and he has now chosen Manchester City as his destination this winter. Liverpool have obviously been looking elsewhere with the aim of strengthening their attacking flanks, and according to Caught Offside, they’ve reignited their interest in Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola.

PSG were reportedly aware of the Merseysiders paying attention to the 23-year-old France international for a while now, and it’s been two months since they opened talks with his representatives over potentially signing a new deal, even though his current one does not expire for another two and a half years. It’s believed to contain a release clause which may cause the Ligue 1 champions to lose the services of one of the most talented wingers in Europe.

Barcola has five goals and five assists in 27 appearances for PSG this season, but these numbers do not do justice to his influence in the team under the command of Luis Enrique.

Bayern Munich are also believed to be watching developments on this front closely.
