Barcola was Liverpool’s top target over the summer, and his £123million arrival at Anfield was confirmed on Monday.
The Reds will pay a basic £106m for the 23-year-old France forward and up to £17m in potential add-ons.
He joins from PSG, where he won back-to-back Champions League titles over the last two seasons and lifted three successive Ligue 1 crowns.
Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle to Arsenal)
Arsenal strengthened their midfield last month by signing Bruno Guimaraes from Newcastle on a four-year deal.
The 28-year-old Brazil midfielder arrived at the north London club for a fee of £75m and made his Premier League debut for the Gunners in Monday night’s 1-0 victory at Aston Villa.
Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa to Chelsea)
Chelsea have had a busy window under new boss Xabi Alonso and Rogers became their record signing in July when he joined from Villa for £117m.
The 24-year-old put pen to paper on a seven-year deal with the Blues and has made an instant impact, scoring on his Premier League debut against Fulham in their opener before assisting Pedro Neto against Brighton at the weekend.
Enzo Fernandez (Chelsea to Manchester City)
Following weeks of speculation across the transfer window, Fernandez’s £125million move to Manchester City was confirmed late on deadline day.
The 25-year-old Argentina midfielder had been linked with a switch to City throughout the summer and has only featured once for the Blues this season, coming off the bench in their opening day win over Fulham.
He was not included in the squad for their following two games against Luton and Brighton and has now been reunited with former Blues boss Enzo Maresca at the Etihad.
Sandro Tonali (Newcastle to Tottenham)
Tottenham have splashed the cash like never before this summer, including £100m to bring in Sandro Tonali from Newcastle in early July.
The 26-year-old Italian midfielder endured a nightmare competitive home debut on Saturday as he was involved in both goals in a 2-0 defeat to his former club.
