This Monday, Paris Saint-Germain and Liverpool officially confirmed the transfer of Bradley Barcola to the English club. Following this departure, estimated by the media at around €145 million, PSG published a video with the French international’s farewell message to the club, the players, coach Luis Enrique, and the supporters.

Barcola: “I’m leaving with a heart full of emotion.”

“Dear PSG supporters, I wanted to announce my departure to you, but first I wanted to say thank you. A huge thank you, because from the very first minutes I played, you supported me and helped me. Even in the most difficult moments, you lifted me up. Today, I’m leaving with a heart full of emotion, but the memory of playing for PSG will remain engraved in my mind forever.

Barcola: “I will be forever proud.”

Because for me it was a joy and a real pleasure to wear this shirt. I will be forever proud. In Paris, I had the chance to play with wonderful teammates who became my second family. I will keep only good memories of all the trophies we won and all the moments we shared on the pitch. It was a real pleasure and a real honor to play with such great players. I would also like to thank the president, who believed in me and placed his trust in me.

Barcola: “I also thank him for everything he did for the team and everything he did for the club.”

He helped me flourish in such a great club and in such a beautiful city. I would also like to thank the coach and all his staff, who helped me become a better player and improve so much. I also thank him for everything he did for the team and everything he did for the club. Finally, I would like to thank the medical staff and the club’s employees. Once again, thank you Paris.”

It is beautiful to see such an ending, with sadness of course, but also love and respect. Barcola enjoyed his time at PSG and highlights the positive side of it. Even if he is indeed leaving for a reason, probably the chance to earn a starting spot at Liverpool. A huge club that was looking for a replacement for Mohamed Salah. It is a new adventure that could be very tempting.

Especially since Barcola was finding it difficult to take another step forward in Paris, such as being a starter in the Champions League final. He still had an important role, and we would have liked to see him continue in the capital. However, his decision is easy to understand. There is also the appeal of adventure. The forward will be able to experience new things.

That will not stop him from keeping a strong bond with PSG, where he is part of a team that is making football history. We appreciate seeing his words for coach Luis Enrique, with no hard feelings despite decisions he would no doubt have liked to change. We thank Barcola once again for his time in Paris and wish him all the best for what comes next.
