Paris Saint-Germain have achieved back-to-back Champions League campaigns over the last two seasons. Now, the focus shifts to squad adjustments under Luis Enrique, coinciding with the 2026 World Cup where several of his players have been competing since June 11. Already on the scoresheet for France, Bradley Barcola now knows where his future lies at PSG—at least in the mind of his manager.
Luis Enrique has seen many of his squad members impress at the World Cup. Notably, Bradley Barcola, after scoring his first goal in a World Cup against Senegal last week (3-1), made his first start for France in the tournament against Iraq on Monday night (3-0). All of this unfolds amid a particular context regarding his future at PSG.
“England beckons: Arsenal and Liverpool are the keenest”
Bradley Barcola’s contract with Paris Saint-Germain runs until June 30, 2028. To date, no agreement has been reached between the parties for an extension, with Liverpool applying strong pressure. A trend confirmed by a journalist. “Barcola is an exceptional player, naturally courted by many clubs hoping to take advantage of his situation in Paris, where he has never established himself as an undisputed starter. His stats at PSG do not reflect his talent. England beckons: Arsenal and Liverpool are the keenest.”
“Luis Enrique wants to keep him”
As was already the case in the summer of 2025, with Liverpool involved in this operation, Luis Enrique categorically refuses to let the electrifying PSG winger join the Reds. “Two questions remain: 1. Does PSG want to sell him? 2. Does he really want to leave? The answer to the first question is no. Luis Enrique wants to keep him. But under a principle established since his arrival, the Spanish coach does not oppose a player who wishes to move on,” the journalist assured during a Q&A session.
