ON APPLE & GOOGLE PLAYFabrizio Romano reports that the France international ‘can leave PSG this summer’ amid interest from the Premier League – chiefly coming from the Reds and Arsenal.However, any movement here will likely depend on a serious fee being handed to the Ligue champions.Bradley Barcola is still poised for PSG exit this summerThere has been an intriguing shift of narrative, according to Romano, with regard to the left-sided winger’s future in football.And one that critically points to the 23-year-old taking the exit door out of Parc des Princes.“On Barcola, I maintain my position,” the transfer news expert spoke on his eponymous YouTube channel.
“I see that everywhere now the narrative around Bradley Barcola is changing. 10 days ago, one week ago, it was, ‘Barcola is untouchable, Barcola is going nowhere, Barcola is staying at PSG 100%.“Now, I see links between Barcola and Liverpool and Arsenal, so maybe it means that Barcola is not that untouchable.“My understanding is still the same: Bradley Barcola can leave PSG this summer.
Still, a lot of money is needed to sign a top player like Barcola.“But, Bradley Barcola remains on Liverpool’s shortlist, and one of the names on Arsenal’s shortlist.”More to the point, it would seem that Liverpool remain at the front of the queue for Barcola’s signature should the Frenchman be up for grabs.Romano went on to add: “For Liverpool, Barcola is a top target since last summer, and Liverpool still want the player and are waiting to understand what is going to happen in terms of the financial package.“But for sure, the interest is strong in Bradley Barcola, and he’s not untouchable. He’s not, at the moment, negotiating a new contract with PSG.“It means there could be movement around the player.”Whether the financials around a potential deal prove doable for the Merseysiders, of course, remains to be seen – and this seems to be the main hold-up (beyond the player’s presence at the World Cup) in talks progressing.Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
