Liverpool target Barcola
The 23-year-old was a key player in PSG's treble-winning campaign in 2024/25 but has not been a regular starter this campaign.
According to Fichajes, Barcola is not content with his playing time and wants to prove himself in the Premier League.
He is under contract with PSG until 2028 but it is reported that Liverpool are preparing a €100m (£87m) move.
Liverpool spent heavily last summer but Mohamed Salah could be set to leave in the near future following his explosive interview before heading to the Africa Cup of Nations.

Maignan set for Milan stay
Mike Maignan is reportedly close to signing a new deal with AC Milan, ending talks of a move to Chelsea.
The goalkeeper has been linked with a switch to Stamford Bridge as he was set to become a free agent in the summer.
But according to Sky’s Gianluca Di Marzio, Maignan now looks set to sign a new deal until 2031.
Talks are said to be progressing positively and a final agreement could soon be reached.

Lewandowski future in doubt
Robert Lewandowski could be set to become a free agent in the summer with his future at Barcelona looking uncertain.
The striker has started on the bench in Barca’s last three games and didn’t get on the pitch in the 5-0 Supercopa de Espana victory over Athletic Bilbao.
"I don't know what’s going to happen," head coach Hansi Flick said after the victory over Athletic.
"I’m very honest with him, too; I’m very happy to have him. He’s playing at a good level, training well, and scoring goals. I’m not going to say he’s leaving the team. We’ll see what happens at the end of the season."
Barca will face either Real Madrid or Atletico Madrid in the Supercopa de Espana final, with the second semi-final live on TNT Sports and discovery+ on Thursday, January 8.

Madrid target Schlotterbeck
Real Madrid are keen on Borussia Dortmund centre-back Nico Schlotterbeck, according to Bild.
Schlotterbeck has impressed for Dortmund and Germany, but is out of contract in the summer of 2027.
Madrid have been linked with several defenders over the last few months, including Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi and Bayern Munich’s Dayot Upamecano, but Bild report that they are now targeting Schlotterbeck.
Dortmund would reportedly want over €50m (£43.5m) for the defender.
The German club's sporting director Sebastian Kehl said they are in talks with Schlotterbeck over a new deal.
"We're trying to convince him with the power this club has, with the appreciation that he feels and with what we want to achieve together. We also want to give him a perspective that makes sense for him.
"But we're not sitting down every day. Things like this need time. He's used the winter break to think things over, but there's no new development yet."
Juve plot Chiesa, Senesi moves
Juventus want to bring Federico Chiesa back to the club, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Chiesa joined Liverpool from Juve in 2024 but has struggled for regular minutes at Anfield.
Chiesa would reportedly be open to returning to Juve, but the deal could depend on whether Mohamed Salah remains at Liverpool.
