Ibrahim Mbaye and Bradley Barcola, 18- and 23-year-old forwards for Paris Saint-Germain, both under professional contracts until 2028, are on their way out this summer. That should again be apparent with the squad traveling to Rennes this Sunday (opening matchday of Ligue 1). According to Onze Mondial, just as in the match against Lens for the Trophée des Champions, both players will be left out.
“According to our information, young Ibrahim Mbaye as well as Bradley Barcola will not be among the Parisians making the trip to Brittany, as they have been in talks over a departure for several weeks. As was already the case against Lens in the Trophée des Champions, the two players are therefore being left out for the return of Ligue 1.”
Against Lens, Barcola and Mbaye were called up for the trip to the Stade Bollaert, but they were not included on the match sheet. This time, they are not even expected to be in the stands. Which is not illogical, since there is no question of risking an injury that could disrupt transfer talks. Especially as PSG have significantly strengthened their attack. After signing last Saturday, Mika Godts (21-year-old forward) and Ferran Torres (26-year-old forward) are expected to be present. And ready to play.
It remains to be seen whether a departure will be possible for Mbaye and Barcola. One would hope so, because it would be quite troublesome to keep these two players “outside the project” indefinitely. It is a real risk for squad cohesion. Perhaps the interested clubs, Liverpool in particular, will try to use that point to their advantage.
