Liverpool explodes another 100 million pound transfer "blockbuster"

The Premier League champions are keen to splash the cash on another striker, even after completing a record £127m transfer of Florian Writz.

Sources from the foggy country confirmed,Liverpool are competing with Bayern Munich in the race to sign Bradley Barcola - a winger valued at £100 million. In addition, the Anfield team has not given up hope of recruiting Alexander Isak from Newcastle.

Bradley Barcola has emerged as a strong candidate amid doubts over his future at PSG following the arrival of Khvicha Kravatskhelia.

At the beginning of the season, Barcola was a regular starter in the attacking scheme that coach Enrique built. However, now he is only a supporting actor because the trio Kravatskhelia - Dembele - Doue is playing so impressively.

In the recent Champions League final, Barcola sat on the bench and only entered the field from the 67th minute. He also left his mark by passing for Senny Mayulu to score.
