LONDON: Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher has cast doubt on Bradley Barcola’s ability to handle the task of replacing Mohamed Salah if the Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) striker moves to Anfield.
Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Barcola as a replacement for Salah, but Carragher believes the player is not the best choice to fill the void left by the Egyptian star.
The former Liverpool defender expressed his views via social media after reports of The Reds’ interest in the 23-year-old surfaced.
Barcola, who usually plays on the left wing, is also capable of playing on the right and as a centre forward.
Reports also claim that Barcola is open to joining Liverpool, with the club prepared to spend around £100 million to secure his services.
Liverpool are seen as desperate to find a player who can fill Salah’s role, but Barcola is expected to face a difficult task to match the Egyptian striker’s goal and assist contributions.
Meanwhile, Liverpool also brought in Victor Munoz from Osasuna and the player is expected to try to make an immediate impact in the English Premier League next season.
Munoz finished last season with six goals and two assists in 34 La Liga appearances.
The player was also in the Spanish squad that won the World Cup, but did not manage to make any appearances in the tournament.
Liverpool endured a disappointing season that led to the sacking of Arne Slot, with Andoni Iraola now tasked with restoring the club’s glory.
The new manager hopes to start the 2026-27 season with flying colours and intends to strengthen the attacking machinery in this transfer window.
