Liverpool have added France international Bradley Barcola to the top of their transfer wishlist for this summer.
The Reds need to add attacking depth to their squad, following the departure of Mo Salah and a difficult season for record signing Alexander Isak.
Barcola's future is uncertain, with the player seeking more game time than he is currently getting at Paris Saint Germain.
PSG have put a big price tag on Barcola
The French champions have offered Barcola an extension to his two-year deal, but he is assessing his options before making a decision.
However, moving elsewhere would require a sizeable offer, with PSG having no need to cash in on their asset.
Having just sold striker Goncalo Ramos for close to £60m, there's no desperate need to generate money.
However, a sale of Barcola would likely command a fee north of £100m, with The Athletic reporting that any offer should eclipse the £116m Manchester City have paid for Elliot Anderson.

The French club view that figure as the yardstick by which other transfer fees should be measured this summer and believe Barcola to be a much more valuable player.
That doesn't seem to have put Liverpool off, with Caught Offside reporting that they're planning to go "all in" to sign him this summer.
Whether or not a price can be agreed between the two clubs remains to be seen.
A deal is unlikely to be reached any time soon, with Barcola currently with France at the World Cup, where it is very likely he will stay towards the back end of the tournament.
France are the favourites to win the tournament and Barcola has made an important contribution to their success so far, scoring against both Sweden and Senegal.
Arsenal have also been linked with a move for the player.
