Iraola told reporters he expected positive developments soon in Liverpool's transfer negotiations, as the Merseyside club moves closer to landing the French international from the French capital club.
The reported deal would see Barcola join Liverpool's attacking ranks as manager Iraola seeks to bolster the club's options on the wing ahead of the remainder of the season. The 22-year-old has emerged as a key target for the Premier League outfit following an impressive spell in Ligue 1.
Although neither Liverpool nor PSG has made an official announcement, the agreement in principle represents a significant step forward in negotiations between the two European clubs. The move would represent one of the summer's notable signings in the transfer market.
Iraola's comments suggest the club remains confident in concluding the transfer, with further announcements expected to follow shortly. Liverpool has prioritised strengthening its squad depth in attacking positions as it prepares for the challenges ahead in the Premier League and continental competitions.
