Fabrizio Romano Says Bayern Munich, Liverpool-Linked Ace Not Leaving PSG | OneFootball

This summer, PSG standout Bradley Barcola has found himself at the center of transfer speculation, with reported interest from Bayern Munich and now Liverpool. However, one reporter has dismissed the talk, stating there’s no real movement toward Barcola leaving the club.

PSG have built a squad with plenty of depth, and with that comes competition for playing time. Naturally, some players might seek bigger roles elsewhere.

Barcola has been battling for minutes with Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, which has sparked some of the exit rumors now making the rounds.

Recently, Liverpool are reportedly planning a move for Barcola, even after securing a deal for 22-year-old German attacker Florian Wirtz from Bayer Leverkusen, according to The Sun.

According to journalist Fabrizio Romano on The Here We Go Podcast, president Nasser Al-Khelaifi has personally stepped in to shut down Bayern Munich’s chances of signing Barcola, a move that now looks highly unlikely given the current situation.

“Barcola was one of Bayern Munich’s main targets this summer,” Romano said (h/t Le10Sport). “Barcola is a player they would love to add to the squad. The real issue is that Paris Saint-Germain, and especially president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, have informed Bayern that they do not want to sell Barcola.”

Last month, Foot Mercato’s Josué Cassé also reported that Barcola isn’t leaving PSG, as he remains a key part of the club’s project and has no intention of moving on.
