Bradley Barcola has turned down Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal eye a move | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola has turned down the chance to join Chelsea this summer, according to L’Equipe.

The 23-year-old France international has formally informed the PSG hierarchy that he will not sign a contract extension at the Parc des Princes.

With his current deal entering its final two years, PSG are now forced to consider a high-value sale this summer.

Chelsea had identified Barcola as a target to strengthen their wide options and made approaches to the winger’s representatives regarding a high-profile move to Stamford Bridge.

However, Barcola decisively rejected Chelsea’s offer. His refusal put Liverpool in pole position to secure his services.

The Reds have made Barcola a priority as they search for an elite wide player after missing out on RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande. Arsenal and Bayern Munich are also monitoring the situation.

The French champions are holding out for a valuation exceeding £140 million (€160m) to sanction any summer departure.

With Chelsea now effectively out of the running, Liverpool are preparing to test PSG’s resolve.

Bayern may only pursue a move for Barcola if Luis Diaz departs. The Colombian is attracting interest from Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal.

Arsenal are exploring a move for Vinicius Jr, although he would prefer to remain at Real Madrid despite an ongoing contract impasse.
