According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, however, Paris Saint-Germain and RB Leipzig have joined the bidding war for the winger.

Both PSG and Leipzig are informed of the France Under-21 international’s situation at OL.

However, Lyon want to hold onto their highly-rated 20-year-old talent ahead of the coming season.

Liverpool have reportedly sent scouts to watch Barcola on several occasions.

The Frenchman burst onto the scene with 13 first-team appearances in the 2021-2022 campaign.

Barcola upped his game last season with seven goals and 10 assists in 31 appearances.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is looking for a significant rebuild at Anfield after the Merseysiders finished fifth last term.

Klopp has already landed Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton to strengthen his midfield.

And the Reds are now closing in on a £60million deal for Leipzig star Dominik Szoboszlai.

Personal terms have already been sorted between Szoboszlai and Liverpool.

The Hungary international is now set to undergo a medical at the Kop.
