Barcola hands Arsenal, Liverpool hope after PSG contract decision

The 23-year-old winger has ended negotiations over a renewal, signaling his desire to explore a move abroad for a more prominent first-team role.

The decision leaves the French champions facing a dilemma on whether to cash in this summer or risk seeing his market value drop as he moves closer to the end of his deal, opening the door to Arsenal and Liverpool.

The Reds consider Barcola a priority target as they continue rebuilding their attack following Mohamed Salah's departure. Arsenal also remain attentive, with Mikel Arteta eager to add extra pace and directness to his frontline.

However, securing his signature will likely break a club record sale for the Parisians, who have slapped a £140 million valuation on the winger.

They are using recent mega-money Premier League moves, such as Morgan Rogers’ £117 million transfer to Chelsea and Elliot Anderson’s £116 million switch to Manchester City, as benchmarks.

Barcola, who impressed at the World Cup with three goals during France's run to the semi-finals, now looks likely to play his football in England this season.
