Liverpool’s transfer move for Bradley Barcola has been criticised by journalist Tancredi Palmieri as “extremely overpriced”.The Paris Saint-Germain winger is expected to move to Liverpool for a fee of £106m, potentially rising to £123m, according to the Athletic and others.This looks set to make Barcola one of the most expensive players ever, which is a reflection of the modern market, but still slightly surprising considering the France international hasn’t even been a regular starter for PSG.See below for the reaction of Palmieri, who is clearly unimpressed with Liverpool’s business here…Barcola at 125m€ to Liverpool is the joint 12th most expensive transfer in the history of football.Mah seems to me extremely overpriced— Tancredi Palmeri (@tancredipalmeri) August 29, 2026“Barcola at 125m€ to Liverpool is the joint 12th most expensive transfer in the history of football.

There’s an element of risk with every signing, and some of the club’s big-money purchases last year didn’t work out, with Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz struggling, but as long as Barcola performs then fans won’t care too much about how expensive he was.?
