No excuses: Richard Hughes and Liverpool handed blockbuster deal on a plate
Liverpool have a chance to get a major deal over the line, per new reports. There aren't any excuses here.
Liverpool head into the summer knowing they need another major transfer if they're to fix their attack. That was likely the case anyway but losing Mohamed Salah forces the club into action.
The Reds lack involvement from their wings, to sum it up. That necessitates a new winger and Anfield Watch understands that Liverpool have long saw Bradley Barcola as a true market opportunity.
Well, now things are moving along in that direction. Le10Sport reported at the weekend that Liverpool are pushing harder than ever for the player, while Barcola himself is in favour of the move.
This, then, creates an incredible opportunity. It's thought that Barcola will be available as Paris Saint-Germain want to reshape their attacking options slightly - they, along with Liverpool, have been linked with Yan Diomande, for instance.
Thus there will be movement in the elite winger market this summer and it leaves the Reds without excuses. They need to invest on their flanks, be it Barcola or Diomande or another top target.
Barcola being available kicks things off and gives Liverpool at least one elite target that they sign. So it's time to get it done.
