The interest from Bayern Munich in PSG’s Bradley Barcola began subtly but has recently escalated as the Bundesliga team actively seeks a left-winger.
As other targets fell through, the 22-year-old French prospect emerged as a primary candidate.
Barcola’s dynamic performances earlier in the season had gained attention before he lost his starting position during PSG’s Champions League-winning run.
With Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Desire Doue performing well together, Barcola’s name started appearing in transfer discussions across Germany.
Numerous reports indicate Bayern is keen on securing a deal, even if it necessitates a significant offer from their side.
The young player, who participated in the full 90 minutes during the Club World Cup round of 16 victory over Inter Miami, continues to be a valuable asset in PSG’s future plans.
With a clash against Bayern in the Club World Cup quarterfinal on Saturday, the timing of these rumors has added depth to the narrative.
Luis Enrique addresses the situation regarding Bradley Barcola
Luis Enrique was straightforward when queried about Barcola’s future. While calmly addressing the press, the PSG manager asserted his stance.
“It’s encouraging that our players attract interest from other clubs. However, Barcola is one of the young talents we depend on,” he stated (h/t: Kerry Hau).
“He has had an exceptional season. (…) I foresee him being with us for many years to come, and I believe he shares that desire. Therefore, I am confident he will continue to be our player,” he concluded.
