In a recent report, Fichajes claimed that Manchester City are eyeing a move for Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola. It has been mentioned that the Mancunian giants are showing interest in recruiting the French wide player this off-season.
Barcola’s Good Numbers In French Football
Barcola has enjoyed a decent run of form at the French club after he produced a run of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 23-year-old has found the back of the net 12 times and secured seven assists in 42 matches for PSG this season across all fronts.
The Lyon-born talent is currently one of the best wingers in Ligue 1. Hence, Man City would do well to bring him to the Etihad Stadium in the upcoming transfer window.
His current contract at the French club will run out in the summer of 2028, which could make it difficult for the Premier League giants to sign him on the cheap later this year.

Is Barcola A Good Choice For Manchester City Boss Pep Guardiola?
Barcola is proficient at finding a yard of space for himself to get some strikes in at goal. He has got the vision to engineer a few decent chances for his teammates in the final third and is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet.
The French talent can contribute by scoring and creating his fair share of goals from the wide areas. Barcola is primarily a left-winger, but can also fill in as a right-sided wide player or as a centre-forward if asked to do so by his manager. However, only time will tell whether he can make a smooth transition to life in England if Man City manage to get a deal done for him this summer.
We can expect Barcola to enhance the quality of Pep Guardiola’s frontline. He is good enough to fight for a regular starting spot at the Mancunian club next season.
At 23, Barcola has his peak years ahead of him, which makes him a decent choice for the Mancunian giants to consider in the summer transfer window. However, there are some concerns over whether he can maintain his good form in the Premier League.
