Liverpool eye PSG’s Bradley Barceola
According to a report in The Times, Bradley Barcola is the latest player to be added to the wish-list by Arne Slot. Liverpool are pushing see if a move for the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star is possible this summer, as they see him as the ideal replacement for Salah.
