Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

Liverpool is closing in on a deal to sign French forward Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain. Reports indicate that the clubs have reached an outline agreement on a fee. One source states the total value is 140 million euros, while another specifies a deal worth approximately 120 million pounds, consisting of a guaranteed sum over 100 million pounds plus add-ons. Barcola is expected to finalize the move before the transfer deadline.
The 23 year old winger has reportedly fallen down the pecking order at PSG under Luis Enrique. He has informed the club that he will not sign a contract extension. This move follows the departure of Mohamed Salah, who left Liverpool for a club in Turkey after nine seasons.
Liverpool has been active in the market for attacking reinforcements. In addition to the pursuit of Barcola, the club showed interest in Real Madrid's Endrick, though that player remained with the Spanish club. Other targets mentioned include Yankuba Minteh and Ismaïla Sarr. The arrival of new wingers may leave the future of Cody Gakpo in doubt, as he has attracted interest from Manchester City and Tottenham.
