PSG turn down Chelsea and Arsenal approaches for Bradley Barcola
Despite links with a move away, Bradley Barcola (22) looks likely to remain at Paris Saint-Germain this summer, according to a report from L'Équipe. 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. Advertisement However, L'Équipe reports that there is no 'war of egos' between the forwards, who all face intense competition for a place in Luis Enrique's side. However, despite reports to the contrary earlier this year, Barcola is not unhappy with his situation at PSG and wishes to remain with the European champions. PSG feel the same. Chelsea, Arsenal, and Bayern Munich have all made approaches in recent times, however, Les Parisiens have closed the door to a departure. GFFN | Luke Entwistle
