This covers the last 24 hours (published early in the evening), looking at what is happening—or not—and what is progressing or surprising. Today’s focus is on Bradley Barcola, Maghnes Akliouche, Eli Junior Kroupi, Elijah Ly, and Samba Coulibaly.
It’s official:
- Bradley Barcola discusses his future without being specific.
Speaking at a press conference on Thursday evening, the 23-year-old PSG and France forward was asked about his future amidst rumors of a contract extension versus a departure. He simply replied that he is focused on the World Cup. While this is understandable, some might have liked to hear a positive word regarding PSG.
- Maghnes Akliouche happy to be linked to PSG.
The 24-year-old AS Monaco and Les Bleus attacking midfielder/winger was asked by Le Figaro about rumors linking him to PSG, and he was quite clear. Without fully confirming the move, he expressed his happiness at being mentioned in connection with the “biggest club in the world.” The transfer isn’t certain yet, but the door is open.
- Elijah Ly and Samba Coulibaly leave Paris.
The 18-year-old winger and defender, both PSG academy products, were reaching the end of their youth contracts, requiring a decision regarding their first professional deals. Club Brugge has announced their arrival, so the matter is closed. It represents an interesting prospect for these young players, even though nothing is ever certain.
