How big should Liverpool go for Barcola?

James Pearce and Simon Hughes join Tony Evans to dive into Liverpool’s growing interest in Bradley Barcola, with PSG’s £145m valuation setting up a major decision for the club. Is he the right long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah, or would Liverpool be better spreading their resources across multiple attacking options?

James also brings the latest from Liverpool’s pre-season tour in the United States, including his insight from Nashville and New York, reaction to wins over Sunderland and Wrexham, and what Andoni Iraola’s early influence is telling us about the team.

Off the pitch, things are just as intriguing. The Athletic’s Matt Slater joins to break down the latest on Fenway Sports Group’s potential minority sale.
