Barcola's refusal to extend PSG deal drives Liverpool talks toward £100m

Bradley Barcola, 23, has two years left on his PSG contract but will not sign a new one and is committed to joining Liverpool, per The Athletic. That stance has shifted leverage toward Anfield. PSG valued the France forward at £140m (BBC Sport); Liverpool's opening £90m bid was rejected (ESPN). The BBC reports talks are now advanced, with a deal expected around £100m plus add-ons.
