Daniel Riolo, journalist for RMC, has expressed reservations about the announced arrival of French striker Bradley Barcola at Paris Saint-Germain.
It’s the end of a soap opera that has kept us spellbound in recent weeks. Bradley Barcola (20) will indeed swap his Olympique Lyonnais jersey for that of Paris Saint-Germain. This Wednesday, RMC Sports informed us that the two clubs had reached an agreement for the signing of the young left winger in Paris.
According to information relayed by the sports news media, the total cost of the operation is estimated at 45 million euros, not including bonuses. The native of Villeurbanne is expected this Thursday in the capital to pass the traditional medical examination prior to the signing of his five-year contract, i.e. until June 2028.
“Barclola comes to be a substitute”
A transfer that greatly questions Daniel Riolo with regard to the amount paid for a player who is certainly promising, but who has still proven very little according to him. “We see in him a genius. I admit that I did not see all this potential but maybe we will see itlaunched the editorialist. Maybe Barcola is very strong and I don’t know. We are on a big transfer for a player who leaves Lyon where I think he no longer wanted to be.
And the polemicist adds: “He comes for that sum but to be what? Holder in front of Gonçalo Ramos? In rotation? It’s a bit weird. Barcola would like to be nine again because that’s their training. But he comes to be a replacement a priori”.
