Liverpool remains keen on signing Bradley Barcola, but securing a deal will require a significant financial investment.
The Premier League side has had contact with the player's representatives, as well as Paris Saint-Germain, with whom they have been discussing a potential move.
Barcola is reportedly open to the move and is excited at the prospect of playing in the Premier League, where he can develop into a future star.
Liverpool will have no issues agreeing on a contract with the player, but the key point lies in the transfer fee, which is a substantial £145 million.
The player's valuation is a major hurdle for Liverpool, as it would eclipse the fees they paid for Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz last summer.
The 23-year-old's impressive statistics, including 20 goal contributions last season, suggest he has the potential to become a phenomenal talent.
However, PSG's high asking price may prove to be a stumbling block in the negotiations, and Liverpool will need to determine how much they are willing to pay before the deal can proceed.
