PSG Daily Digest – Barcola «12th man» and contract talks stalled | OneFootball

This Saturday, May 9, the French press (from a sporting perspective) focused, on the Paris Saint-Germain side, on Bradley Barcola (23-year-old forward), who remains a backup, and on contract extension talks being on hold in order to prioritize sporting matters at the end of the season. There is also the Cup Winners’ Cup won 30 years ago and its celebrations.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

Barcola is struggling to take the next step and establish himself as an essential player in the Champions League. There have still been some good performances against Chelsea that gave hope, but also an injury. That is a bit the issue: PSG’s number 29 is finding it hard to deliver consistently over time. And he is up against tremendous competition. It has to be accepted, because that is life at big clubs. That does not stop him from having an important role to play in Paris.

Perhaps that will play a part in the negotiations over his contract extension, though nothing is certain yet on that front. Except that talks are, logically, on pause at PSG, which is focused on a big end to the season with the Champions League and Ligue 1 still to be won.

A great moment in the history of a club that is not short of them, as this anniversary of the Cup Winners’ Cup reminds us.
