Headline: PSG’s Luis Enrique Declines to Discuss Liverpool Interest in Bradley Barcola
Paris St-Germain manager Luis Enrique avoided answering questions regarding the future of Liverpool target Bradley Barcola. The 23-year-old forward has attracted attention from the Reds, who are reportedly willing to offer around £100 million to secure his transfer to Anfield.
Barcola is included in the PSG lineup set to face Aston Villa in the Super Cup in Salzburg on Wednesday.
When asked about Barcola’s future, Enrique stated, “I don’t know and I don’t want to speak about any player individually. Because it’s always dangerous when you are asking something positive or negative about a player. I stay focused on my team.”
Barcola joined PSG from Lyon in 2023 for a fee of approximately £38.5 million and has since added three Ligue 1 titles, two French Cups, as well as the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA Intercontinental Cup to his accolades.
PSG also features Khvicha Kvaratskhelia from Georgia and Desire Doue from France as options on the wings, suggesting that Barcola might see more playing time should he transfer to Liverpool.
