€45m deal opens door to DREAM Liverpool transfer

Liverpool's Champions League Last 16 opponents Paris Saint Germain are littered with attacking talent and the Reds might look to the French giants for their next forward signing.

Richard Hughes and the club's recruitment team have already lost out to PSG in a January transfer attempt to sign Kvicha Khvaratskehlia from Napoli, but Liverpool failed to act quick enough to get a deal done.

Nonetheless, PSG are looking likely to add further recruits to their already impressive attacking unit and Anfield Watch understands that Liverpool are likely to overhaul their attack this summer with Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nuñez potentially on the way out.

As such, if PSG are bringing more players in, then it seems reasonable to suggest that someone will have to give way and the Reds are known to be fond of many of their Champions League opponents' players.

According to the Portuguese journalist Luis Pinto at FootBoom, PSG are setting their sights on the 17-year-old attacking midfielder Rodrigo Mora from FC Porto.

Just 19 games into his senior professional career, it is clear that Mora is one to watch for the future and the prodigy is reportedly has a €45 million release clause - a figure that PSG are looking likely to pay when the summer transfer window rolls around.

If the move to France were to come to fruition, then he would be competing with players such as Joao Neves and Desire Doue in midfield, as well as Bradley Barcola, Kvicha Khvaratskehlia, Goncalo Ramos and Ousmane Dembele in attack.

For a young teenager who needs guaranteed minutes in order for him to develop on the pitch, it is clear that something would have too budge.

22-year-old Barcola has been a name on Liverpool's shortlists for a few years, even before he joined PSG from Lyon in 2023 and an opportunity to sign the Frenchman would be one that the club would surely be all over.

He has been a regular in Luis Enrique's team, starting 31 games across all competitions, and delivering 14 goals and nine assists in that time, playing off the left-wing.

With the understanding that Diaz might be moved on from Liverpool this summer, Barcola could be a perfect replacement to intertwine with Cody Gakpo in the Reds' fluid attack.

Of course, a lot of things have to happen first before this deal becomes even a remote possibility, but while PSG might want to be stacked in forward positions, a situation may arise where there are too many players who each want guaranteed minutes on the pitch.

Having been long-term admirers of Barcola, with the security of regular Champions League football and a chance to play in the Premier League, Liverpool would be an attractive move for him.
