PSG’s Barcola Extension Stalls as Liverpool Keep Watch
Sources link the impasse to Barcola’s push for a bigger role despite PSG signaling top-tier wages.
Overview
- Talks to extend the 23-year-old’s deal, opened months ago, are reported to be stalling according to L’Équipe via GFFN.
- Barcola is under contract until 2028, and PSG are prepared to place him among their top earners to retain him.
- Liverpool, previously in the race, are tipped to revisit their interest if no agreement is reached, while Bayern’s pursuit faded after signing Luis Díaz.
- Barcola’s starting opportunities have tightened since Khvicha Kvaratskhelia joined in January, with Luis Enrique often favoring Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane Dembélé, and Désiré Doué in attack.
- Injuries to teammates have kept Barcola involved this season, but both sides have yet to agree on the terms of a proposed new deal.
