Latest PSG’s Bradley Barcola Update Is Bad News for Liverpool, Arsenal

By admin — In News — July 28, 2026

   ​Bradley Barcola has finalized his decision not to extend his contract with PSG. The France international, however, does not rule out staying one more year in the French capital.The Barcola saga is taking a new turn. As expected, things sped up with the end of the World Cup, and while rumors had multiplied in recent weeks, the France international and his entourage have made a decision. Barcola will not extend beyond June 2028 with Paris Saint-Germain, a blow for the Paris club, which had hoped to convince the former Lyon player to sign a new deal.Options are numerous for Barcola, buoyed by Les Bleus’ successful World Cup. L’Equipe recalls in its edition of the day that Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Chelsea are in the running to sign the 23-year-old winger. The player wants to take the time to listen to the various projects so as not to rush his choice. The cited outlet also reports that the player trained at Lyon does not rule out staying at PSG for a fourth year without an extension.Barcola hates clashes and will not force his departure if Paris fails to reach an agreement with one of the interested clubs. On the side of Luis Campos and Nasser Al-Khelaifi, however, it is very difficult to imagine a future with Bradley Barcola, given the risk of keeping a player with one year left on his contract.Paris Saint-Germain is being very demanding financially on this matter and is asking for at least €120 million, the same price Real Madrid could put on the table, bonuses included, for Yan Diomandé, whom PSG is also targeting. It will be interesting to see whether Barcola’s suitors match Paris’ demands. This is not currently the case for Arsenal, which values him at up to €90 million, while Liverpool is said to have made a substantial offer, per the latest reports.If Barcola’s departure were to be confirmed, the back-to-back European champions would, in any case, have to multiply the options in attack, as they must also compensate for the departures of Kang-in Lee and Gonçalo Ramos, which have still not been done for the moment. One year after a very quiet summer transfer window, the opposite is shaping up at Paris in 2026.The situation could remind us of the Kylian Mbappe saga. For years, Mbappe refused to extend, and PSG tried its luck until the last minute, getting a two-year extension in 2022.
