Never say never with Luis Enrique. But barring a physical problem, we probably know the identity of the attacking trio who should start the Champions League final against Arsenal. Like last year against Inter, Bradley Barcola should not be part of it.
The former Lyonnais is going through a particular season, where he experienced small problems which prevented him from being at the best of his form. As a result, in recent weeks, Désiré Doué seems to have gained the upper hand, and we will no longer even mention the comparison with Kvhicha Kvaratskhelia, who has become essential in the Champions League.
In this context, it is not surprising to see transfer rumors regarding Bradley Barcola. According to Sky Sports, the French international would be followed by heavyweights: Chelsea, Barcelona and… Arsenal, his team’s future opponent in the Champions League final.
Barcola leaving?
With such a series, it is not always easy to know if these rumors serve the player to remind PSG that they must not leave him aside, otherwise they will see him leave. Or, as Sky Sports says, perhaps Moussa DembĂ©lĂ©, Barcola’s agent, is really exploring the market.
It is true that, in this story, Barcola also plays a starting place in the France team. Among the Blues, Doué is also taking a good lead for the role of “fourth man”, alongside the essential Mbappé-Dembélé-Olise. It is understandable that the Parisian winger is asking himself some questions about his future. For PSG, losing such an important player in the team and in the rotation would be detrimental.
