Bradley Barcola, who squandered crucial chances during the Champions League final against Arsenal, might have sealed victory for Paris Saint-Germain before the penalty shootout (1-1, 4-3) had he not missed his attempts in extra time against David Raya. Now, Arsenal, driven by coach Mikel Arteta, are preparing their offensive to secure the winger’s transfer.
Contract stalemate opens door for suitors
Like the situation with Ousmane Dembélé, the Bradley Barcola file has been a hot topic of discussion and rumours around PSG for months. Both summer 2023 signings are under contract until June 2028. True to form, PSG football advisor Luis Campos has initiated talks with the relevant parties to find an agreement to keep the Ballon d’Or winner and the winger whose departure was blocked last summer despite interest from Bayern Munich and Liverpool.
Liverpool keep close watch on barcola
What now? In early December, it was revealed that the contractual offer sent by PSG was not deemed satisfactory by the Barcola camp, while Arsenal and Liverpool were ready to seize any opportunity regarding the 23-year-old France international. Weeks have passed, and the Reds’ interest in the wide attacker remains strong, as confirmed in May. Under manager Andoni Iraola, following Arne Slot’s departure, Liverpool remains in observation mode as they aim to sign two wingers.

Arsenal are scrutinising the final details of this operation before launching a transfer offer to PSG for Bradley Barcola. Mikel Arteta’s priority is to inject fresh blood into his attacking line, specifically at left wing. The deal is considered feasible within the English club’s decision-making offices. The stage is set.
