Bradley Barcola linked to Man Utd transfer amid PSG exit speculation
Manchester United are considering a move for Bradley Barcola, with PSG indicating the France winger may be available this summer. The 22-year-old has attracted interest after impressing at the World Cup and in Ligue 1.
Why is Bradley Barcola a target for Man Utd?
Bradley Barcola's pace and creativity make him an appealing option for Michael Carrick. The United manager is looking to strengthen his attack after Marcus Rashford's loan spell at Barcelona. Barcola, who has struggled for regular minutes at PSG, could see the Premier League as a chance to revive his career.
What has been said about a potential transfer?
Former United striker Dwight Yorke has urged the club to sign Barcola or his PSG teammate Desire Doue. Yorke told GOAL: 'If Marcus Rashford doesn’t want to stick around, go and get Doue or Barcola. Those are the two players you should go get.'
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has suggested PSG may be open to selling Barcola. Romano said: 'Bradley Barcola can leave Paris Saint-Germain this summer. The interest is strong and Barcola is not untouchable because he isn't negotiating a new contract.'
What does this mean for Barcola's future?
Barcola's contract situation at PSG leaves his future uncertain. With one year remaining on his deal, the club may cash in rather than risk losing him for free. United face competition for his signature, but Barcola could see Old Trafford as a step up in his career.
The winger has made 25 appearances for PSG this season, scoring four goals. His versatility and dribbling ability would add a new dimension to United's attack.
