One journalist has claimed that Liverpool could make a significant ‘breakthrough’ on a major transfer pursut in the ‘next 24 to 48 hours’.After weeks of discourse surrounding the future of Bradley Barcola, it appears as though the Reds are finally closing on a deal to sign the Paris Saint-Germain winger, who’s understood to have already agreed personal terms on a prospective move to Anfield.The Athletic‘s David Ornstein stated on Tuesday that the transfer has an ‘85%-90% chance’ of coming off before next week’s deadline, and another reporter has even hinted at the possibility of being wrapped up with a few days to spare.Liverpool could make Barcola breakthrough in ’24 to 48 hours’Speaking on talkSPORT on Wednesday, Ben Jacobs claimed that Liverpool could viably strike an agreement with PSG for Barcola in the next couple of days, although uncertainty remains as to what price would ultimately be agreed between the two clubs.He said: “[There was a] key meeting yesterday as Liverpool try to get a bit more clarity now. If they don’t have an agreement in principle for Barcola this week, it’s not necessarily ideal to be leaving that until the final minutes of the window, especially when you still may need to resolve [Cody] Gakpo and they want another attacker in.(Photo by Kevin C.

Some say £120m; others still say a little bit higher than that.”Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
