Liverpool have arranged for Barcola to undergo a medical on Sunday as they move towards completing a transfer worth a total of £123m, according to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The player is expected to sign a five-year contract with Liverpool, keeping him at the club until June 2031, once the medical process has been completed.
The agreement between the two clubs has progressed rapidly in recent days. Transfer documents were exchanged on Thursday, with approval completed yesterday. Barcola will now say goodbye to his current team-mates before travelling to England to continue the formalities of the move.
The final transfer fee is made up of an initial £106m payment, with a further £17m available in add-ons. That takes the potential overall value of the deal to £123m.
Romano’s update indicates that the medical is the next major step before Barcola can formally complete his move to Liverpool. The five-year contract, running through to June 2031, has also been agreed, leaving the player’s departure from his current club and his arrival in England as the immediate stages still to be completed.
Barcola is expected to bid farewell to his team-mates before making the journey. The transfer documents exchanged by the clubs and the approval reached yesterday mean the deal has already moved beyond the initial negotiations and into its final completion phase.
Liverpool have arranged Sunday’s medical as part of that process, with the transfer fee clearly defined as £106m plus £17m in potential additional payments. If all the required steps are completed, the move will be formally concluded with Barcola signing his long-term contract.
The report does not provide further details about the conditions attached to the add-ons, but confirms that they could increase the total fee from £106m to £123m. The medical and contract signing are therefore the key remaining events outlined in the update.
