A private jet is set to fly to Liverpool this afternoon amid a major breakthrough in talks between PSG and the Reds, with this transfer saga in its final stages. Liverpool dropped a teasing tweet on Wednesday evening, which some fans had hoped meant they were imminently set to unveil Barcola as a new player, although it turned out to be related to the club’s third kit. Such is the desire to see Barcola finally announced as a Liverpool player that everything is being scrutinised, with plane trackers now out in full force online. Sky Sports reporter Nicholas Bieber, known for his flight tracking antics on Twitter, shared a tweet this morning with info regarding a private jet flying to Liverpool today. He said: “A private jet will fly from Paris to Liverpool this afternoon! BUT given a deal hadn’t been completely announced yet, and only at the final stages, let’s not assume this is definitely Bradley Barcola “Let’s wait and see…” A private jet will fly from Paris to Liverpool this afternoon! ????

David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano have both confirmed that an agreement in principle has been reached with PSG over a deal to sign Barcola. Romano reports: “BREAKING: Liverpool reach verbal agreement to sign Bradley Barcola, HERE WE GO! “Initial fee worth £100m plus add-ons — up to €140m possible total package for PSG. Documents to be exchanged in 24 hours. #LFC get their top target: never in doubt and now done.” ?? BREAKING: Liverpool reach verbal agreement to sign Bradley Barcola, HERE WE GO! ?
