Bradley Barcola has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal this summer.
The French winger is one of the most exciting talents in Europe, and he would get into most clubs without any trouble.
However, David Ornstein revealed recently that Barcola is not for sale this summer, and Paris Saint-Germain want to keep hold of him.
Fabrizio Romano, however, has heard something entirely different.
Imagine you are Andrea Berta. Who is your top target for Arsenal in the summer transfer window?
Arsenal target Bradley Barcola is available for sale
Ornstein and Romano are two of the best in the business when it comes to transfer news.
The journalists rarely ever get their information wrong, which is why conflicting reports about Barcola is surprising to see.
Ornstein said on X: “Paris Saint-Germain view Bradley Barcola as not for sale, regardless of arrivals and reluctance to sign a new deal.”
Romano’s information, however, is the complete opposite, and he has revealed that there is already movement around Barcola over an exit.
He said in his YouTube video: “I can tell you what I know and what I know on Bradley Barcola is that, saying that Bradley Barcola is not for sale and is not leaving Paris Saint-Germain this summer is not what I’m told.
“It is not at all what I’m told, because first point: Bradley Barcola contract talks are in complete standby and have been on standby – not one month, not two months – but since last summer. Last summer, there was Liverpool already keen on Barcola.
“It was probably not that strong in the media, but Liverpool tried to enter into the Barcola deal last summer. PSG closed the doors, and they don’t want to sell the player in summer 2025, and at that stage, they were expected to get a new deal done for Barcola after rejecting a big proposal from Liverpool.
“But this deal is stalling since summer 2025, and then if PSG really want to go for Yan Diomande and Akliouche, the exit of Barcola could be a possibility.
“So I’m not telling you Barcola is 100% leaving Paris Saint-Germain because I can’t tell you this, because this would obviously take a big amount of money, a big proposal, and the players will. So, there are several factors.
“But today, I can’t tell you that Barcola is 100% staying in Paris and Barola is not leaving, because I’m told and I’ve been telling you this for months, there is movement around Bradley Barcola.”
🤔 PICK ONE: Would you rather Arsenal signed Bradley Barcola or Morgan Rogers this summer?
Arsenal will try to sign Bradley Barcola only on one condition
Arsenal’s interest in Barcola is by no means surprising.
The Gunners are looking to sign at least one new left-winger, and the PSG star is one of the most attractive options out there.
Arsenal have Barcola on their list, but he is not at the top.
Romano revealed in the same video that Morgan Rogers is the first-choice left-wing target in this window.
Only if they can’t get him, they will consider making a move for Barcola.
