Liverpool’s imminent £123m signing Bradley Barcola sharpens up before mega-money Anfield switch as barber confirms move is ON – as PSG star travels to Merseyside for medical
Bradley Barcola enjoyed a final trip to the barbers as the French star prepared to head to Merseyside to complete his £123million move to Liverpool.
Barcola is set to undergo a medical in the next 24 hours ahead of signing from reigning European champions Paris Saint-Germain.
Liverpool have agreed an initial £106million fee with PSG, with the deal for the 23-year-old winger will also include up to £17m in add-ons.
Barcola is expected to sign a five-year contract.
The French star’s barber signalled preparations were in full flow ahead of Barcola’s move to Liverpool, which will be the most expensive signing of the summer transfer window.
Barber Enzo Dias, whose studio is located in Paris, shared a video of him trimming Barcola’s hair on Friday.

‘Last ride for Bradley Barcola before he leaves,’ Dias wrote on Instagram.
The video was also captioned ‘last cut for Barcola before Liverpool.’
Liverpool made a breakthrough with PSG earlier this week after several weeks of negotiations to try to bring down the European champions’ stubborn valuation which started at £145m.
Barcola, 23, has been the top target for several months as Liverpool look to replace Mohamed Salah after his move to Trabzonspor.
They previously targeted – and had a bid rejected for – Yan Diomande, who ended up at Real Madrid.
Negotiations have been led by sporting director Richard Hughes and Fenway Sports Group president Mike Gordon.
Barcola came through Lyon’s academy but spent the last three seasons at PSG, where he won two Champions Leagues and three Ligue 1 titles.
The winger, who played for France at this summer’s World Cup and scored against England in the third-place play-off, hit 39 goals in 152 games for PSG.
