Bradley Barcola, the 23-year-old forward signed by Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2023 on a contract until June 2028, took some time to establish himself but has finally become a regular in Luis Enrique’s team. He has also earned a place in the French national team. This rise could attract interest from other clubs, especially since his contract extension is not yet guaranteed. According to Djamel, PSG faces stiff competition, and this situation, like those of Ousmane Dembélé (28-year-old forward) and Senny Mayulu (19-year-old midfielder), is currently on hold at the end of the season.
“This request from the coach doesn’t just concern Barcola, but also Dembélé and Mayulu.”
“As I explained to an English account a few days ago, the interest of several top European clubs in Barcola is real and dates back to last year.
However, the club plans to focus on the matter after the Champions League, as the coach has asked management not to interfere during the competition with meetings or anything else, since this could be detrimental to the team. This request from the coach doesn’t only concern the Barcola situation, but also the Dembélé and Mayulu cases.”
These statements are quite credible, since Barcola is a great player who could interest many clubs. The French international could also distinguish himself during the World Cup with the French national team. Although it’s reasonable to assume that PSG would like to finalize the deal before leaving for the World Cup.
But there will be very little time left, and the player’s entourage, as with Dembélé, might not act quickly. Nevertheless, we understand the desire to focus on the end of the season. It’s also possible that the club and Barcola already have a plan for the future. This may depend on priorities. We’ll have to wait for confirmation.
