During the summer transfer window, PSG winger Bradley Barcola’s name surfaced in multiple transfer rumors. In a squad brimming with talent, it’s understandable that some playersexplore opportunities for more consistent playing time.
Barcola faced challenges securing a regular spot,competing with teammates like Désiré Doué and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, which onlyadded to the speculation about a potential departure.

RMC journalist Fabrice Hawkins recently revealed that Barcola’s situation has become so frustrating that he is seriously contemplating a transfer, which makes his contract extension talks with PSG one to watch closely to see if the player feels he has a place as a top star at the club.
“The question came up,” Hawkins said (h/tLe10Sport). “It didn’t get much attention in the media because the club handled it very well. In terms of communication, it’s a masterclass. They managed to act as a pressure release on something that could have made more noise. Barcola asked himself real questions.
