Barcelona among top clubs monitoring €70 million-rated PSG speedster | OneFootball

As the summer transfer window approaches, FC Barcelona have emerged as one of several European heavyweights closely monitoring the situation of Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, reports journalist Florian Plettenberg.

The 23-year-old French international has become a sought-after profile across the continent due to his explosive pace and technical ability on the left flank.

Barcelona, who are actively seeking a top-tier talent to bolster their attacking options for the 2026/27 campaign, have identified Barcola as a potential target alongside Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon.

Competition expected

However, as per the report, the Catalan giants face significant competition from the Premier League.

Arsenal have already gathered extensive information on Barcola and are monitoring his development closely. Liverpool are also credited with a strong interest, as they look to rejuvenate their wide attacking options this summer.

Barcola’s future in Paris appears increasingly uncertain, with a move away from the Parc des Princes a distinct possibility during the upcoming window, as he has lost some prominence in the team.

Despite PSG’s desire to retain their brightest young talents, the lure of a leading role at another of Europe’s elite clubs may prove decisive.

For Barcelona, the pursuit of Barcola fits into their strategy of bolstering the frontline with more dynamism. The 23-year-old can play anywhere across the frontline and has contributed 12 goals and seven assists this season.

With Marcus Rashford expected to be released after his loan spell, the Blaugrana remain on the lookout for a left-winger, and the PSG ace has emerged as an option, along with the aforementioned Gordon.

While the club’s financial situation remains a factor in any high-profile pursuit, the opportunity to secure one of Europe’s most promising speedsters has placed them in the race for his signature.
