Bradley Barcola is increasingly close to joining Arsenal this summer, according to Football Insider. The PSG winger is valued at $109M as Arsenal pivot after missing out on Morgan Rogers.
Under contract with PSG through June 2028, Bradley Barcola is getting increasingly close to joining Arsenal, according to the English media.
Paris Saint-Germain will be a major player in the transfer market this summer. The Parisian club wants to refresh part of its squad in certain positions, particularly in attack. Bradley Barcola's departure, for example, is on the agenda.
Luis Enrique and Luis Campos would like to keep the France international, but no agreement has been reached on an extension beyond 2028. A transfer this summer, therefore, appears likely, and the Premier League is waiting for exactly that. The former Lyon player has often been linked with Liverpool if the Reds fail to land their top target, Yan Diomande.
But according to Football Insider, Arsenal is now increasingly in pole position. The specialized outlet claims that Bradley Barcola is expected to join Arsenal this summer.

The move has gained even more momentum after the Gunners were rebuffed by Aston Villa in their pursuit of first-choice target Morgan Rogers, who is therefore expected to remain with the Villans. Journalist Jack Dawson reports that Mikel Arteta and the London club's leadership immediately turned their attention to Barcola, whose unique profile would greatly benefit Arsenal.
The question now is whether that destination will appeal to the PSG and the French left winger. Above all, the two clubs will need to agree on a fee for the former Lyon forward, who was signed three years ago for 50 million euros and whose market value has risen considerably since then, thanks to two Champions League titles and high-level performances with Paris Saint-Germain. The club from the French capital hopes to receive at least 100 million euros from the transfer.
That amount could then be reinvested in recruiting Bradley Barcola's successor. Also targeted by Liverpool, as mentioned above, Yan Diomande has a profile that appeals to the Parisian leadership, although RB Leipzig is proving very demanding by currently asking for a minimum of 120 million euros.
