Liverpool have received the clearest signal yet that their pursuit of Bradley Barcola is about to reach a critical juncture. According to GoalZaza sources, the 23 year old Paris Saint Germain wide man has informed his representatives that he favours a switch to Anfield over any other suitor this summer.The France international, who netted 39 goals across his senior career, found starts hard to come by under Luis Enrique's rotation heavy system at the Parc des Princes. For a player of his directness, his quick feet and willingness to run in behind, being left on the bench is a frustrating waste of prime years. He needs to be on the pitch, pulling full backs out of position and delivering those low crosses that heavy metal football demands.What Barcola offers is exactly the kind of threat Arne Slot appears to be seeking. He is not a pure number nine but a left sided attacker who drifts infield, linking play and then exploding into space. His transitional play is electric, and when given a clear run at a defence, he can be devastating. The question now is whether Liverpool can agree a fee with a club that rarely sells its crown jewels cheaply.The Emirates Marketing Project and a handful of Serie A sides have been sniffing around, but Barcola's preference is a significant advantage. It is one thing to be interested; it is another to have the player actively pushing for the move. All the heavy lifting now falls to the negotiating table. Will the Reds make a summer splash with this 23 year old livewire or will they bottle it at the last hurdle Anfield expects clarity before pre season kicks into gear.
