🔒 PSG’s Strategy: Locking Down a Rising Star

 Barcola’s current contract runs until 2028, but PSG are looking to extend it by two more years, through 2030, and significantly increase his salary—potentially placing him among the club’s top eight earners.

Despite the arrival of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in January, which introduced more rotation in the forward line, Barcola has remained a regular starter in both Ligue 1 and the Champions League. His versatility and resilience have impressed the coaching staff, especially during injury spells for Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué.

⚠️ Contract Talks Hit a Snag

While PSG are eager to finalize the extension, negotiations have reportedly stalled. Barcola and his representatives are said to be undecided on the proposed terms, preferring to evaluate all options before committing to a long-term deal.

Barcola’s stats since joining from Lyon in 2023 speak volumes:

  • 29 goals and 32 assists in 112 appearances

  • A goal contribution every 1.83 games

  • Integral role in PSG’s 2024–25 treble-winning season

🔁 Transfer Interest Amounts

Clubs like Liverpool and Bayern Munich have been monitoring Barcola closely. While no formal bids have been made, PSG’s proactive approach to extend his contract is a clear signal that they intend to keep him at the Parc des Princes for the long haul
