Following the final whistle of the May 30th clash against Arsenal, which saw Parisian giants secure their second consecutive Champions League title, head coach Luis Enrique had already signaled impending squad adjustments. Gonçalo Ramos has since departed for AC Milan, and it appears Bradley Barcola could be the next to leave the Campus PSG. All decisions are expected to be finalized once the World Cup concludes.
For several months, reports have indicated that Bradley Barcola’s contractual situation does not currently favor an extension with PSG. Despite being under contract until June 2028, the French international has not given a positive response to the Paris Saint-Germain management regarding prolonging his stay beyond this date. This development has piqued the interest of Arsenal and, more notably, Liverpool, both recent English champions keen on acquiring the impactful winger from PSG.

“Discussions will take place between the player and PSG after the World Cup”
