They nearly doubled their lead before the break, but Alisson&#8217;s remarkable save denied Igor Jesus\u2019 attempt, which hit the crossbar.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On another front, Liverpool is making significant strides in their attacking line after reaching a preliminary agreement with Paris Saint-Germain for Bradley Barcola.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-123019\" src=\"https:\/\/www.softfootball.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/WhatsApp-Image-2026-07-27-at-07.30.56.jpeg\" alt=\"Liverpool Lead Race for Bradley Barcola (Photo credit: Fabrizio Romano)\" width=\"904\" height=\"588\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Liverpool Lead Race for Bradley Barcola (Photo credit: Fabrizio Romano)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The French winger is expected to join in a deal valued at an initial \u00a3100 million, with an additional \u00a320 million in performance-related add-ons, potentially bringing the total to \u00a3120 million.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Barcola has become Liverpool&#8217;s primary target after the club&#8217;s unsuccessful efforts to land Yan Diomande. Although negotiations with PSG were challenging, a deal has finally been finalized after weeks of discussions, coinciding with PSG&#8217;s acquisitions of Maghnes Akliouche, Ferran Torres, and Mika Godts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As Barcola&#8217;s arrival approaches and goalkeeper options are being evaluated, Liverpool remains focused on refining their squad under the management of Andoni Iraola.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"wedod-2531411928\" class=\"wedod-after-content wedod-entity-placement\"><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1458300956780583\" crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block;\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1458300956780583\" \ndata-ad-slot=\"\" \ndata-ad-format=\"auto\"><\/ins>\n<script> \n(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); \n<\/script>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liverpool has initiated formal discussions with Genk regarding the potential acquisition of goalkeeper Lucca Brughmans.
