Bradley Barcola has been included in Paris Saint-Germain's travelling squad for the Super Cup clash against Aston Villa amid persistent links over a transfer to Liverpool.
Sources have told ESPN that Barcola is top of Liverpool's wishlist in their pursuit of a wide forward this summer, and that the club have held preliminary talks with his representatives.
Barcola is keen on a move to Anfield, sources said, but while there has been contact between Liverpool and PSG -- there remains a gap in their respective valuations if the winger.
The France international, who is out of contract in 2028, is thought to be valued at around €150 million (£128.5m/$170.9m).
After returning from the World Cup, his first major outing with PSG could come on Wednesday with a UEFA Super Cup -- which pits the Champions League winners against the Europa League's -- tie against Aston Villa in Salzburg.
International teammates Désiré Doué and Ousmane Dembélé are also in a star-studded travelling squad, which includes new signing -- from Villa -- Lucas Digne.
