Arsenal-Paris Saint-Germain. Here is the poster for the 2025-26 Champions League final. Title holders, the Ile-de-France residents start as the favorites. Even more so after eliminating Bayern Munich in two matches where we could see all the qualities of the squad shaped by Luis Enrique. For its part, Arsenal did not dazzle Europe. But the Gunners did the job to overcome a tough Atlético de Madrid team. The Londoners did not steal their place, they who believe in their chances of success in Budapest on May 30.
Then, it will be time for the English to take stock and move on to the transfer window. The residents of the Emirates Stadium want to make some changes to their squad in order to help Mikel Arteta continue to grow this team. The Gunners particularly want to strengthen their offensive sector. Yesterday, the name of Marcus Rashford was put forward by the Daily Mail. A track that seems difficult for two reasons. The first is that Manchester United are not in the business of selling him to a competitor in the Premier League. The second is that the player wants to stay at Barça, who are discussing the possibility of keeping him permanently.
Gunners appreciate Barcola
But he is not the only player to please London. Sky Germany reveals that Arsenal are also attracted by Bradley Barcola (23 years old). The Frenchman, who has playing time under Luis Enrique without starting every match, has participated in 45 matches in all competitions this season. Time for him to score 12 goals and deliver 7 assists. His profile appeals to the Gunners, who follow the player very closely and have obtained information about him according to the German publication.
If Bild cites Bayern Munich as a contender, Sky Germany adds that FC Barcelona and Liverpool, which is looking for a successor to Mohamed Salah, are also in the running. It is then specified that a transfer from Barcola this summer is entirely possible. It remains to be seen what the footballer under contract until 2028 and whose extension in Paris was under discussion, and PSG, who has no reason to part with the player, think. What is certain is that the French international pleases Arsenal. A few weeks ago, the Gunners were also linked with Kvara. But this trail quickly closed.
