PSG have slapped a mammoth £140million price tag on Bradley Barcola as it looks increasingly like he will leave the Champions League winners. The winger has been the subject of intense interest from English giants Liverpool and Arsenal this summer, but his future in Paris is now in serious jeopardy.
Why is Bradley Barcola leaving PSG?
Bradley Barcola is expected to depart Paris Saint-Germain in the coming months because the 23-year-old has confirmed he will not sign a new contract. Despite being under contract until 2031, the Frenchman's refusal to commit his long-term future has forced the Parisians to prepare for his exit.
PSG are looking to maximise their profits if the winger departs. Wamma! This valuation would make Barcola the most expensive sale in the club's history. The Parisians are not looking to sell cheap; they have seen players like Morgan Rogers and Elliot Anderson move for figures around the £117m and £116m marks.
How will Liverpool and Arsenal react?
Liverpool are thought to be in pole position to sign Bradley Barcola, while Arsenal are reportedly looking towards other targets like Vinicius. The Reds, in particular, are keeping a very close eye on the French winger following his standout performances on the big stage.
Barcola's stock is sky-high after an impressive World Cup campaign where he helped France reach the semi-finals, netting three goals. This performance, combined with his recent European success, has made him one of the most sought-after talents in Europe. For Liverpool fans, this is a serious opportunity to add world-class firepower to the squad.
However, the market is getting crowded. PSG are also battling Real Madrid to land RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande. Diomande is another player on Liverpool's radar, but the potential arrival of a powerhouse like Diomande in Paris could further push Barcola down the pecking order.
If you are looking to back these big moves on your next accumulator, keep an eye on the player markets for these top European clubs.
Will PSG sell Barcola this summer?
Yes, PSG are willing to sell Bradley Barcola provided their massive £140m valuation is met, according to reports from the Evening Standard.
