Liverpool can't afford to sign Bradley Barcola?

Liverpool may not secure the services of Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola this summer, according to Canal Plus.

The Merseyside giants have been long-term admirers of the Frenchman, and he has already agreed on personal terms with them.

However, the price tag remains a huge stumbling block at the moment.

The Reds are prepared to spend £100m for his signature, but Les Parisiens are adamant that he won't leave for less than £140m.

With the large gap in valuations between the clubs, it is claimed that the Reds may not be able to afford to land the Lyon graduate.

Andoni Iraola's side are reluctant to overspend on the attacker, and may explore other choices if PSG don't lower the fee.

The news could be a potential boost for Premier League rivals Arsenal, who are eyeing a marquee left winger for the new season.

Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior recently snubbed them to extend his contract and the Gunners could return for Barcola.
