Bradley Barcola has just wrapped up an outstanding season, netting 21 goals and providing 21 assists across 63 matches in all competitions. These remarkable statistics have naturally drawn the attention of Europe’s elite clubs, including Manchester City.
After Gianluigi Donnarumma, another PSG player was rumored to be heading to Manchester City: Bradley Barcola. Bayern Munich and Liverpool made attempts over the summer, but PSG quickly shut down any talks, viewing the French international as untouchable and already contemplating a contract extension.
Settled in Paris, the former Lyon player had no intention of leaving. Beyond Germany and England, Manchester City also had their eyes on him. According to Foot Mercato, the Citizens viewed Barcola as a potential successor to Savinho, who was once rumored to be on his way out.

In the end, Savinho stayed, and Manchester City’s interest did not escalate further. PSG made the right call in retaining their gem. With Ousmane Dembélé and Warren Zaïre-Emery sidelined due to injuries while with the French national team, Barcola is poised for significant playing time in the upcoming clashes, especially against Marseille in Ligue 1 and Barcelona in the Champions League.
Barcola’s emergence is timely for PSG, as he is set to step up when the team needs him most. His ability to perform under pressure could be crucial for Paris as they aim for success in both domestic and European competitions.
