Mirror: Liverpool has always recognized the preferred transfer target and is unlikely to switch to Balcola
The Mirror reported that although there is news that Liverpool is linked to Paris Saint-Germain winger Barcola, it is unlikely that Liverpool will sign the French international.
Liverpool has reached a transfer agreement for Nunez with Riyadh Crescent, and the Reds will next focus on finding alternatives. However, Liverpool has listed Newcastle striker Isaac as the top target, and even if he fails to sign him, the Reds will not be in a hurry to buy other alternative players. In fact, Liverpool will only change the signing target if they think another player who meets their criteria can sign in this transfer window.
They have sold Nunes and Luis Dias this summer window, and Jota unfortunately died in a car accident, which has led them to consider further strengthening their forward strength, which is why they pursue Isaac. Liverpool currently seeks only one starting striker in the transfer market, not a substitute, and they will only pay what they think is a reasonable market value and chase only those players they think can sign before the transfer window closes.
Liverpool's past practices show that if they fail to sign the number one target, they will not turn to other targets unless they think other targets meet their standards. The same is true for the moment, they don't think they have to sign a striker, but they do have the will.
Similar examples include: In the summer of 2017, Liverpool did not sign another central defender when he had to postpone the introduction of Van Dijk. For example, when Zubimendi refused Liverpool and chose to stay at Real Sociedad last year, they did not seek another goal. Recently, it was reported that Paris Saint-Germain's 22-year-old forward Barcola may become a replacement for Isaac, while Ekitic is considered to be the center role.
However, although Liverpool and many other clubs appreciate Balcola, in fact, the Reds have no plans to introduce him at this stage. Paris Saint-Germain is unlikely to agree to leave him, which makes him a difficult target to sign. In addition, Liverpool also believes that introducing a left-wing attacker of the age of Balcola will hinder the growth path of the genius teenager Ngumoha.
