Arsenal have learned that Bradley Barcola will cost in excess of £116 million, but the winger is simply not worth that, and Andrea Berta should walk away.
Arsenal have been in constant contact with Barcola over a move to the Emirates Stadium; however, PSG seem to have very little appetite to lose him.
🤔 PICK ONE: Would you rather Arsenal signed Bradley Barcola or Morgan Rogers this summer?
The 23-year-old has become one of the most impressive wingers in world football, although he is getting limited game time in the French capital.
But regardless of his limited minutes, the French champions have no intention of letting him go for a low price, and Arsenal should not be matching the sort of fee they want for him.
Arsenal told Bradley Barcola will cost over £116 million
David Ornstein reports that Paris Saint-Germain do not want to sell Arsenal target Bradley Barcola this summer.
Arsenal have now been informed that the French international will cost in excess of £116 million, which is more than what Man City are paying for Elliot Anderson.
PSG already believe that the sale of Goncalo Ramos, Kang-In Lee and Randal Kolo Muani will be enough to free up squad space and funds.
Barcola remains very highly rated at the Parc Des Princes, and despite Maghnes Akliouche and Yan Diomande arriving, they want to keep him.

Despite setting a hefty price tag on the winger, PSG also insist he is not for sale anyway, and Arsenal may need to move on regardless.
Bradley Barcola is not worth over £116 million
Anyway, Barcola is not worth over £116 million, and the Gunners should be focusing on other targets like Morgan Rogers and Kristos Tzolis.
The 23-year-old scored just twice in 16 Champions League games for the European champions last season.
Barcola looked so poor in the Champions League final against the Gunners, missing two big chances to win the game in normal time.
He is clearly a talented player, but still quite raw, and Arsenal cannot afford to take any gambles at this stage of Mikel Arteta’s project.
