Overview
- Transfer reporter Fabrizio Romano said on May 23 that both Liverpool and Arsenal have interest in Bradley Barcola and described him as a 'serious option' for Liverpool and of 'genuine interest' to Arsenal.
- Romano and multiple outlets report Barcola has not signed a new PSG contract, a status that could make him available this summer if PSG decide to sell.
- Liverpool view Barcola as an option linked to other moves and are in active talks for RB Leipzig forward Yan Diomande, with Barcola more likely to be considered if Diomande joins PSG.
- Arsenal like Barcola but must first decide whether to prioritise a winger or a centre‑forward and may also weigh possible departures such as Gabriel Jesus or Leandro Trossard when planning signings.
- Press estimates for a transfer fee vary widely and PSG retain negotiating leverage because Barcola’s deal runs beyond 2026 and the club paid £43m to sign him from Lyon, so any sale would depend on offers and PSG’s post‑season review.
