The summer transfer window has closed, but the speculation is far from over. Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano dropped a bombshell, revealing that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) seriously considered signing Rodrygo this summer.
Rodrygo’s potential move to PSG was reportedly tied to the future of Bradley Barcola. According to Romano, Luis Campos saw the Brazilian as a backup option should the former Lyon player depart. The staggering figure of €100 million was even mentioned for this possible transaction, although PSG has never really entertained the idea of Barcola leaving, considering him untouchable.
But the plot thickens. In Spain, reports suggest that Real Madrid is keeping a close eye on Barcola. This interest would make sense if Rodrygo, who expressed a desire to leave last summer, pushes for a move in 2026.
Could a Rodrygo-Barcola Exchange Happen in 2026?
Right now, it’s hard to envision this player swap coming to fruition. Yet, it underscores how Barcola has emerged as a significant name on the European stage—a player PSG is unwilling to let go anytime soon.
As the transfer landscape continues to evolve, one thing is clear: the intrigue around Rodrygo and Barcola will keep fans on the edge of their seats for years to come.
