Bradley Barcola is attracting interest from Liverpool and Arsenal, with both clubs keen to secure his signature during the current transfer window, as reported by Sports Illustrated. The Gunners are believed to hold a potential advantage in the race for the forward, with both sides monitoring his situation closely as they consider attacking reinforcements for the upcoming season.
Barcola is understood to be struggling for consistent game time in Paris, as he is not currently a regular starter ahead of other attacking options in the squad. This situation is expected to continue, which could influence his decision regarding a possible departure from the French capital. As a result, interest from England has intensified, with both clubs assessing the possibility of a deal should the opportunity arise.
Liverpool and Arsenal transfer battle
Liverpool are said to maintain a serious interest in the attacker, while Arsenal are also actively positioning themselves to make a move in this transfer window. Both clubs are expected to compete strongly for his signature as they look to strengthen their attacking depth ahead of the new season. The competition between the two sides is expected to continue throughout the window, with neither club prepared to withdraw at this stage.
The Frenchman is reportedly more inclined towards a move to Arsenal at present, with the appeal of living in London cited as a significant factor in his thinking. This preference could prove decisive if he decides to leave Paris, despite Liverpool’s ongoing efforts to persuade him otherwise. Both clubs, however, remain engaged in the pursuit and are expected to monitor developments closely.
PSG’s position on the future
Paris Saint-Germain are currently reluctant to sanction a sale of the attacker during this window. The club are intent on retaining him as part of their squad, which presents a significant obstacle for any potential move, regardless of interest from Premier League sides. Their stance means negotiations would be complex and potentially prolonged should talks advance further.

ADMIN COMMENT
So here are some simple rules which I must insist commenters follow….
You agree not to give any personal abuse to other Arsenal fans. Everyone is allowed to hold their own opinions even if you disagree with them. It COSTS NOTHING TO BE POLITE TO OTHER ARSENAL FANS.

What’s different with Barcles than other targets is Barcles could be pushing for a move, not another year as bench option, and PSG appear to be lining up replacement in Yanners – so I think he will move this window. I don’t think he would be a flop at Arsenal, but he’s still not my first choice. Barcles is not Arteta’s first choice, that much is clear. I think he will sign for Liverpool later in this window.
First of all, let’s stop old fashioned thinking that the wide players in 4 2 3 1 are “wingers” or “midfield” because these days they are forwards – you are not signing one to hug touchline, but add numbers to the box and get their weight of goals.
And secondly, let’s not “transfer talk” like a new left forward is simply a left forward, like they are all exactly the same – the differences between Martinelli and Trossard is chalk and cheese alone. Which brings me to say – would you compare speedster Barcles more to Martinelli’s counter attacking style, or to Trossard’s possession based link up style?
This is why Barcles is not my or Arteta’s first choice, and the sooner we can sign Kenan Yildiz the better.
