Arsenal have reportedly contacted Bradley Barcola's camp as the transfer tussle for the Paris Saint-Germain forward intensifies. The Gunners had been hoping to land Vinicius Junior before the Real Madrid star signed a new contract, so they have now turned their attention to Barcola, with contact made with his representatives, according to TeamTALK.
Barcola's PSG Exit and Valuation
The 23-year-old is looking to leave PSG this summer after failing to establish a regular starting spot. PSG are firm in their valuation of £128million, influenced by several big-money moves to Premier League clubs this season. Liverpool are still said to be the most advanced in negotiations, but PSG have made it clear no firm offer has been submitted yet.
Manchester United and Other Clubs Active
Manchester United are believed to be exploring options in both the attacking and defensive departments. Arsenal are also keen to add more quality to their forward line. With the future of Rodri still uncertain, Manchester City are expected to be busy in the final weeks of the window, potentially targeting a couple of Chelsea players, as the west Londoners are believed to have several they are open to selling.
Premier League Season Approaches
With the transfer window entering its final month and the Premier League season less than a fortnight away, clubs are running out of time. The window is expected to heat up, with mega money likely to be spent on big-name players from across the continent. Liverpool are still on the lookout for a Mohamed Salah replacement, with Barcola continuing to be linked.
