Bradley Barcola is set sign a Liverpool contract to 2031 after the Premier League club reached agreement with PSG over the structure of the transfer.
Sky Sports reported on Friday that an agreement in principle had been reached for Barcola to move to Anfield in a package worth £120m.
The final discussions had centred over the structure of deal, with Liverpool now set to pay £106m up front and up to £17m in add-ons.
Documents must still be exchanged between the clubs and Barcola must complete a medical, which is expected to take place this weekend.
There had been a gap in valuation between the two clubs earlier in the summer, with PSG previously asking for around £145m for the France international, but the 23-year-old is now set to sign a five-year deal with Andoni Iraola’s side.
Barcola would become Liverpool’s second most expensive signing of all time, following the club-record deal to sign Alexander Isak from Newcastle for £125m last summer.
Barcola’s arrival would potentially allow Cody Gakpo to leave Anfield, with Tottenham and Manchester City both interested in the Dutchman.
Liverpool are also trying to sign a second new winger, with their target currently Crystal Palace’s Ismaila Sarr following difficult negotiations with Brighton for Yankuba Minteh.
