The transfer is expected to cost around 140 million euros, making Barcola the second most expensive signing in Liverpool's history, behind Alexander Isak. This move is part of a new reconstruction at Anfield, following a disappointing season under Arne Slot, where the team finished fifth in the Premier League, 25 points behind champions Arsenal.

Liverpool's attack has lost prominence since Mohamed Salah's departure, and manager Andoni Iraola has requested Barcola's transfer to add balance to the team's front line. The 23-year-old has already had minutes with the French national team, including a goal in their 3rd place match against England at the World Cup.

Barcola's arrival would be a significant boost to Liverpool's attack, and he would join a team that has already strengthened its squad with the signings of Jérémy Jacquet, Víctor Muñoz, and Ronald Araújo. The transfer is expected to be completed in the coming days, with Barcola set to join a team that includes other notable signings such as Alexis Mac Allister.
