France international, Bradley Barcola has left PSG to Liverpool.
The 23-year-old forward completed a £123m move from Paris St-Germain, signing a five-year contract. The deal includes an up front fee of £106m, plus £17m in add-ons.
“It’s a great pride to be able to play for Liverpool. I’m very happy,” the France international told club media.
“It took a long time but I’m really happy today to be able to play for Liverpool. All I want is to be on the pitch and be able to play.”
Barcola won three Ligue 1 titles and two Champions Leagues across a trophy-laden three years in Paris, and is now targeting taking the Reds back to English top-flight glory.
“I hope to achieve very big things,” he added. “First of all, winning the Premier League – it’s one of my biggest dreams in my life.
“It is to do that and to stay in this team in the long term – that’s why I signed a long contract – and I hope I can do it.
“I had the chance to play twice in this stadium and I saw the atmosphere and how the fans were behind the Liverpool players.
“When I knew about Liverpool’s interest in me, I didn’t ask questions and I knew it was a very big club for me.”
So, now Liverpool have landed Barcola, what else needs to be done – in terms of both ins and outs – before the transfer deadline at 23:00 BST on Tuesday?
