Bradley Barcola reportedly offered to Barcelona as star signing with PSG renewal talks on hold

Despite Bradley Barcola being one of PSG’s most important players, he is not fully certain about his future at the club. After reportedly pausing his contract renewal, the Frenchman has been offered to Barcelona as a marquee signing for the summer of 2026. Bradley Barcola remains one of PSG’s most important players, being key both creatively and in front of goal. However, the Frenchman’s future at the club is not entirely clear, as he has paused his contract renewal following a recent change of agent. Given his uncertain situation, he has reportedly been offered to Barcelona in a multimillion-euro transfer for the summer of 2026 as a marquee signing. According to Diario Sport, PSG are keeping Bradley Barcola’s contract renewal an absolute priority, as his current deal runs until June 2028. However, negotiations are not progressing smoothly, as the change of agent from Jorge Mendes to Moussa Sissoko, the same agent of Ousmane Dembélé, has slowed the process. Because of this, the Frenchman’s future at the club is not entirely secure, despite being a key player on the sporting side. Looking for a new direction, his agent, Moussa Sissoko, has decided to offer him as a marquee signing to Barcelona, making it clear that there is an open door for a potential departure from PSG. In response, sporting director Deco keeps him high on his list of priorities, as his ability to perform on both wings is highly valued. However, the French side could demand at least €80 million for his transfer, something difficult for the Blaugrana, according to Diario Sport. While Barcola is attracting interest in Barcelona, Moussa Sissoko is not an agent with strong relations with the club. After Dembélé’s departure, they were left quite dissatisfied with his handling of the situation, so this process could be approached with caution. As a result, the Blaugrana may look to avoid being used as leverage to increase his value and secure a renewal with PSG, something that has already happened on several occasions. Bradley Barcola of Paris Saint-Germain in action during the UEFA Champions League. Bradley Barcola may be an ideal fit for Liverpool With Mohamed Salah’s confirmed departure and Hugo Ekitike’s serious injury, Liverpool urgently need to bring in attacking reinforcements for the 2026-27 season. With this in mind, they are reportedly targeting Yan Diomande as a marquee signing, but his arrival appears complicated. Because of this, Bradley Barcola’s contractual situation could facilitate his move, as he would be an ideal fit for Arne Slot’s team. According to CaughtOffSide, the Reds are closely monitoring Barcola’s situation and are prepared to pursue his signing. A quick, dribbling, and highly effective goal scorer, the Frenchman would be an ideal replacement for Salah. In addition, he could fit alongside Diomande, as he is capable of playing on both wings, which would add valuable versatility to the squad. If he continues to reject a renewal with PSG, the Reds could make him a priority. Not only Liverpool are pursuing his signing, but also Arsenal. According to David Ornstein, the Gunners are also keeping the Frenchman as a priority for the summer of 2026, as he is seen as a game-changer. With this in mind, Bradley Barcola could either push PSG for a lucrative renewal or simply force his departure from the club.

Bonucci: "Italia, scegli Guardiola. Allegri da Real Madrid, Bastoni da Barcellona"

Pep Guardiola, il prescelto per l'Italia. Queste le parole di Leonardo Bonucci in merito alla panchina degli Azzurri: "Seguendo la lista di nomi che sono stati fatti in questi giorni se veramente c'è voglia di ricominciare io ripartirei dalla possibilità accennata di avere Pep Guardiola, perché avere lui vorrebbe dire apportare un cambio netto rispetto a tutto quello che è stato il passato. Penso sia molto difficile, però sognare in questo momento non costa nulla". Il tecnico catalano del Manchester City è dato in uscita dal club inglese. "Mi è stato chiesto di fare ancora da ponte per la parte di scouting dei giovani e dei ragazzi che possono essere convocati per le partite di giugno". "Abbiamo la fortuna di avere tanti giovani che stanno giocando a grandi livelli e dietro altri che si stanno costruendo, Credo che con Donnarumma, Tonali, Bastioni, Calafiori, Palestra, Pio Esposito, Scamacca, i giocatori ci siano. L'obiettivo dev'essere quello di metterli nelle migliori condizioni piscofisiche per permettere loro di esprimersi sempre al massimo. La Nazionale di oggi se la paragono alla nostra che ha vinto l'Europeo 5 anni fa per tecnica e talento è sicuramente superiore. Quello che manca è un pizzico di crescita a livello di leadership e personalità, perché nelle partite che pesano è la cosa che fa la differenza". "Allegri? Per il suo modo di gestire uno spogliatoio e il modo di intendere il calcio, il mister Allegri è un allenatore veramente molto vicino allo stile del Real Madrid. Sa togliere le responsabilità dalle spalle dei giocatori permettendogli di giocare con la massima libertà. La maglia del Madrid porta con sé pressioni importanti, vedo bene Allegri come allenatore del Real anche perché è un tecnico molto simile ad Ancelotti nel modo di gestire lo spogliatoio e se Ancelotti ha vinto al Real Madrid con Allegri ci sono delle buone chances di ripetersi". "Bastoni? Il suo modo di intendere il calcio e le sue caratteristiche si sposano alla perfezione con lo stile del Barcellona. È un difensore molto tecnico con grande visione di gioco, potrebbe avere qualche problema con gli spazi che lascia il Barça, ma lì molto sta nella crescita individuale e personale che ti porta a saper leggere tutte le situazioni e anticiparle in modo da non trovarti in difficoltà. Bastoni è ancora giovane, ha 27 anni e quindi altri 6-7 ad alto livello, e spero che anche per la Nazionale possa ritrovare quella serenità e quella sicurezza che lo ha contraddistinto negli anni vittoriosi con l'Italia e con l'Inter”.
