Arsenal have made contact with the representatives of Bradley Barcola over the Frenchman’s potential transfer to the Emirates Stadium this summer, as per TEAMtalk.
Barcola has been a subject of key interest in the ongoing summer transfer window. Although he still has two years left on his contract at the Parc des Princes, a departure seems likely, as reports indicated he was unwilling to extend his contract with PSG.
Interest in his signature has further heightened after an outstanding individual campaign at the World Cup, where he netted three goals and provided one assist.
As such, several clubs have shown interest in the Frenchman, who provided 20 goal contributions last season, with Football Talk citing Fabrizio Romano, revealing that Liverpool have made contact with PSG over a deal to sign Barcola.
It appears Arsenal are now looking to steal a march on Liverpool, as TEAMtalk claims that the north London giants have made contact with Barcola’s entourage over his potential transfer to the Emirates Stadium this summer.
While Liverpool hold a genuine interest in the 23-year-old and are leading the race to sign him, Arsenal have now firmly entered the race to sign the exciting winger this summer, according to the report.
In a boost to the Gunners, TEAMtalk adds that there is no agreement in principle between the Reds and PSG, who are demanding a £128m fee to sanction the France international’s departure.
