Paris Saint-Germain faced with impasse in Bradley Barcola contract talks 

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have hit a stumbling block in contract talks with winger Bradley Barcola, according to L’Equipe.

Les Parisiens are working to extend Barcola’s contract, which presently runs until 2028, by an additional two years until 2030.

However, negotiations have stalled as the player and his representatives seem undecided on the proposed terms.

The Frenchman, who joined PSG from Olympique Lyonnais in 2023, has rapidly established himself as a key figure under coach Luis Enrique.

Last season, he impressed with 21 goals and 18 assists across all competitions as PSG won the treble.

This term, Barcola has started all but one match, further solidifying his position in PSG’s attacking line, especially with teammates Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue sidelined for several weeks.

Despite the club’s strong desire to lock Barcola down with a lucrative new deal—potentially making him one of the top-paid players at PSG—the winger appears keen on weighing his options carefully before deciding on his long-term future.

This cautious approach has created a deadlock in talks, causing frustration within the PSG’s hierarchy, led by sporting advisor Luis Campos.

PSG’s urgency to finalise the deal stems from the interest Barcola has drawn from Europe’s elite clubs, particularly Bayern Munich, who saw Barcola as a potential successor to compatriot Kingsley Coman after his departure.

Liverpool and Arsenal have also been linked with the French international. PSG have previously rejected offers and cautioned suitors, making clear their intention to keep Barcola in Paris.

However, contract talks remain at an impasse as Barcola’s camp evaluates the best course of action forward. Still, PSG are hopeful that an agreement will be reached soon.
