Why Liverpool are ready to make Barcola third £100m signing

Liverpool have twice paid more than £100m for players - midfielder Florian Wirtz and striker Alexander Isak - and could be about to do so again.
Paris St-Germain and France winger Bradley Barcola has become a main target for Liverpool, with the Reds prepared to pay about £100m, while PSG are holding out for somewhere near £145m.
And they could be about to break the bank for 23-year-old Barcola, who was part of France's squad at the World Cup.
With Mohamed Salah leaving on a free transfer at the end of last season having scored 257 goals in a hugely successful nine-year spell with the Reds, Liverpool clearly need to strengthen their attack.
Barcola has played 28 times for France and scored three goals in this summer's World Cup, including in the 6-4 loss to England in the third-place play-off.
