Paris Saint-Germain thought of living a relatively quiet summer on the front of major players. The club is a buyer, not a seller. Especially when it comes to the pillars of the project. However, for several weeks, an insistent threat from across the Channel has disrupted the serenity of the capital's club. A big name of Premier League, described as literally obsessed with one of the Parisian attackers, refuses to let go of the case and puts the nerves of Nasser al-KhelaĂŻfi to Rude.
Barcola: PSG closes the door, Liverpool insists
This club is Liverpool. According to information from ESPN, the sports director of Reds, Richard Hughes, is a “big fan” of Bradley Barcola. He sees in him the ideal successor of Luis DĂaz and does not resolve to abandon the track, despite the categorical and repeated refusals of PSG. The Champion of England, just like Bayern Munich, has encountered a wall, but continues to be forcing behind the scenes. An insistence that is seriously starting to annoy in Paris.
For PSG, the position is clear and non -negotiable: Barcola is not for sale. Point. The club has no intention of separating from a player who has become a central element of the Luis Enrique project, even if the arrival of Désiré Doué sometimes shaded him at the end of the season. A departure is simply not an option. Paris even works on a contract extension to further secure its winger.
Bradley Barcola: Paris blocks a transfer to the Premier League
A player who has become essential
We understand why PSG is so firm. The figures speak for themselves. Last season, Bradley Barcola was the most used Parisian, with 58 games played (excluding club world). He was also the second most decisive player in the workforce, with an impressive total of 39 contributions (21 goals, 18 assists), just behind Ousmane Dembélé. Such profitability at his age makes it an intransferable player.
Faced with the door closed double -tone by Paris, Liverpool seems to be reluctantly oriented towards other tracks, such as that leading to Rodrygo du Real Madrid. But the obsession for Barcola remains. This episode shows how the status of the young Frenchman has changed. It is no longer a simple hope, but a safe bet that arouses the lusts of the greatest. And for PSG, the message sent to the rest of Europe is clear: the jewels of the crown are not for sale.
