Barcola excelled at the start of the season, however, as the season wore on, he found competition for a place in the starting line-up more intense. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia joined from Napoli in a €70m deal in January and was quickly thrust into the starting XI, whilst Désiré Doué has also risen to prominence after a slow start to his life at PSG.
As a result, there have been reports of Barcola potentially leaving PSG this summer. As per L’Équipe, Chelsea, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich made approaches. However, PSG’s stance is clear – he is not for sale.
That has now been emphasised by Luis Enrique. “I have no doubt that he’ll stay our player. We like the fact that our players are interesting other clubs. But he’s one of those young players that we’ve been banking on. I expect him to play here for many more years.”
