END OF THE MO SALAH ERA? ARNE SLOT TARGETS PSG STAR FOR ANFIELD REBUILD
As Mohamed Salah’s future at Anfield wavers, Liverpool is reportedly "doing the groundwork" for a summer move for Bradley Barcola.
Liverpool is back in the hunt for a new winger after missing out on Antoine Semenyo.
This week, Semenyo swapped Bournemouth for Manchester City in a £65 million move. City moved fast and triggered his release clause, leaving Liverpool watching as one of their main targets joined a Premier League rival. Plenty of top clubs showed interest, but City got their man early.
Now, Liverpool has to shift focus. Paris Saint-Germain’s Bradley Barcola is at the top of their list. According to Caught Offside, Liverpool are actually leading the race for Barcola ahead of Arsenal and Chelsea. They seem pretty keen on the 23-year-old and see him as a potential long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah.
Salah’s contract runs until 2027, but things have changed under Arne Slot. He’s lost his automatic spot in the starting lineup and could end up leaving before his deal runs out. Liverpool has apparently done the most groundwork for Barcola and wants to build a new-look attack around him.
Barcola’s not playing as much as he’d like at PSG these days. With Khvicha Kvaratskhelia arriving last year and Desire Doue’s stock rising, Barcola’s been on the fringes. He can play both wings, though, which is exactly the kind of versatility Liverpool needs right now.
Cody Gakpo has struggled this season, and Slot doesn’t have many senior options on the left. Besides Gakpo, the only other option is 17-year-old Rio Ngumoha, who’s barely seen any game time.
There’s still a chance Barcola could stay put in Paris. Luis Enrique is leaving PSG at the end of the season, and whoever comes in next might give Barcola a bigger role. One source told Caught Offside that Liverpool’s interest is strong, and if Barcola’s situation doesn’t improve, he’ll definitely consider moving. But a lot depends on who PSG hire as manager.
Meanwhile, Salah’s not coming back to Liverpool just yet. He scored the winner for Egypt in their 3-2 victory over Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-finals. Egypt plays Senegal on Wednesday night, with the third-place play-off on Saturday and the final set for Sunday, January 18.
HIDDEN TARGET: WHY BRADLEY BARCOLA EMERGED AS LIVERPOOL’S TOP CHOICE AFTER THE SEMENYO SNUB
Liverpool rival Bayern for PSG star Bradley Barcola. See how the winger fits Arne Slot’s plans following Mo Salah’s recent outburst.
Liverpool is reportedly eyeing PSG winger Bradley Barcola as a possible signing.
PSG wants to lock Barcola into a new contract, especially with Liverpool showing interest. Since joining Lyon in 2023 for about £40 million, Barcola’s had a great run in Paris. He’s already won two Ligue 1 titles and helped PSG claim their first-ever Champions League trophy last season.
But here’s the thing: Barcola isn’t always in the starting lineup. With Khvicha Kvaratskhelia coming in and Desire Doue on the rise, Barcola sometimes finds himself on the bench. In PSG’s penalty shootout win over Marseille for the Trophée des Champions, Barcola only came on in the 72nd minute to replace Kvaratskhelia.
Still, he’s a real talent—five goals and four assists in 23 games this season isn’t bad at all.
Right now, RMC Sport says PSG has offered Barcola a new contract. His current deal runs until 2028, but his camp hasn’t given any response yet. PSG wants to know where he stands so they can make plans. According to RMC Sport, the club is preparing for anything and already has a shortlist of possible replacements if Barcola decides to leave. For now, though, he’s never actually said he wants out, even with Liverpool and Bayern Munich circling.
So, will Liverpool go for him? They probably want another winger this summer, especially since fans were surprised they didn’t push harder for Antoine Semenyo, who ended up at Man City for £65 million.
Barcola can play on either wing, which could tempt Liverpool. They need someone who can eventually step in for Mo Salah. Salah’s contract runs until 2027, but he’ll be 35 by then, and there are already questions about his future—especially after he claimed he’d been “thrown under a bus” following a 3-3 draw with Leeds. He lost his starting spot before heading to the African Cup of Nations with Egypt.
On the left, Liverpool could use more depth, too. Cody Gakpo is the only real senior option, and he’s had an up-and-down season.
"EVERYONE WAS UNHAPPY"—VIRGIL VAN DIJK REVEALS THE LOCKER ROOM REACTION TO GABRIEL MARTINELLI
Virgil van Dijk reveals Liverpool squad fury over Gabriel Martinelli's shove on an injured Conor Bradley. Get the latest scans.
Virgil van Dijk didn’t hold back—he said the entire Liverpool squad was furious with Gabriel Martinelli after he clashed with Conor Bradley.
Van Dijk was clearly angry. Martinelli dragged Bradley off the pitch, and at first, it just looked like a heated moment. But then everyone realised Bradley had actually injured his knee pretty badly.
After the match, Martinelli apologised. He reached out to Bradley directly and insisted he honestly didn’t know how serious the injury was.
Bradley left the field on crutches, wearing a knee brace. He was in obvious pain. Still, Martinelli tried to shove him off the pitch, which sparked a full-on brawl at the end of the game.
Van Dijk said, "Everyone was upset. Not just a few of us—everyone. And for good reason. Conor was down on the pitch, clearly hurt, and seeing someone push him off just isn’t a good look.
"You guys have probably seen the clips. For us, it all happened so fast. There was a long ball, Conor challenged for it and went down, then Martinelli pushed him off the pitch, and that set everyone off. We all came together, but in that moment, nobody really knew what was going on. It just looked bad, especially for Martinelli.
"Right now, we’re just thinking about Conor. He’s got medical tests in the next day or so, and we’ll have to adjust."
Liverpool ended up grinding out a hard point at Arsenal, keeping their unbeaten streak alive at ten games. Van Dijk admitted it wasn’t exactly pretty, but he was happy with how they stuck to their plan.
He said, "First, all our thoughts are with Conor. Hopefully, it’s not as bad as it looks, but it doesn’t look great. As for the game, I thought our plan was outstanding.
"We let their centre backs have the ball because we didn’t think they’d be able to hurt us that way, and that’s why they hardly created any chances.
"Sure, it didn’t always look great, but you could go all out and take risks, or you could stick to the plan. We knew a match was 90 minutes, and eventually, we’d get our chances. That’s what happened in the second half.
"We played really well with the ball. Honestly, it felt like we could’ve taken more than just a point, but I’m proud of the team, especially against a side in such good form.
"No team can press for the full 90 minutes as they do at the start, so we just kept at it, made them try to find a way through, and they really struggled.
"The guys worked so hard defensively, and then in the second half, we found the gaps and the right players in between the lines.
"We didn’t create any huge chances, but considering we’re missing two proper strikers, the lads were still brilliant. We’ll take the point and move on."
