Paris Saint-Germain achieved back-to-back Champions League campaigns in the last two seasons. Now, Luis Enrique is fine-tuning his squad alongside the 2026 World Cup, where several of his players have been competing since June 11. After scoring his first World Cup goal for France, Bradley Barcola already knows where he stands with his coach regarding his future at PSG.
Luis Enrique is seeing many of his squad members perform well at the World Cup. Bradley Barcola scored his first goal in a Mondial against Senegal last week (3-1) and then made his first start for France in the tournament against Iraq on Monday night (3-0). All this unfolds in a specific context regarding his situation at PSG.
Contract situation sparks interest from England
Barcola’s contract at Paris Saint-Germain expires on June 30, 2028. To date, no agreement has been reached on an extension, and Liverpool has been pressing for his signature. Observers describe Barcola as an exceptional talent, logically courted by many clubs hoping to exploit his situation in Paris, where he has never established himself as an undisputed starter. His statistics at PSG do not reflect his ability. The Premier League appears to be calling, with Arsenal and Liverpool among the most eager suitors.
Luis Enrique wants to keep him
As was already the case in the summer of 2025 with Liverpool in the picture, Luis Enrique is reportedly refusing to let the dynamic PSG winger leave. Two key questions remain: does PSG want to sell him, and does he really want to leave? The answer to the first appears negative: Luis Enrique wants to keep him. However, since the Spanish coach’s arrival, his principle has been not to stand in the way of a player who wants a change of scenery.
