With Barcola unlikely to be available, The Sun now reports that Liverpool are shifting their focus to Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon. The Reds have maintained interest in the 24-year-old since last summer and are reportedly preparing a £100 million bid. Gordon is viewed as a strong alternative, with the belief that PSG have no intention of letting Barcola go.
This week, Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported that Barcola is FC Bayern Munich’s top target as they look to sign a high-profile left winger. While a deal won’t be easy to pull off, Bayern are actively exploring the possibility of signing the 22-year-old Frenchman.
If Barcola ends up being out of reach, Athletic Club’s Nico Williams is seen as the leading alternative. Max Eberl is also keeping other options on the table, including Kaoru Mitoma, Rafael Leão, and Cody Gakpo.
Nonetheless, it doesn’t seem like PSG are willing to give Barcola away and hamper the depth they’ve built over the last few transfer windows.
