Paris Saint-Germain star Bradley Barcola has reportedly expressed a desire to leave the club this summer, handing a major boost to the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal . Barcola has played a key role in helping PSG win the Champions League in each of the last two seasons, but has faced an uncertain future ahead of the summer transfer window.
Both Liverpool and Arsenal have been credited with an interest in signing Barcola this summer as they prepare for the start of the new Premier League season.
The France international made 49 appearances for PSG last season, scoring 13 goals across all competitions, including two in the Champions League.
A report in talkSPORT has claimed that Barcola has requested a move away from PSG this summer, with Liverpool and Arsenal now being put on alert.
Barcola is reported to be valued at around £60million by PSG, with reports earlier in the week claiming that the Ligue 1 giants would be open to letting the 23-year-old leave the Parc des Princes this summer.
The versatile forward is contracted at PSG until the summer of 2028, meaning the player and the club may have a decision to make regarding his future this summer.
Both Liverpool and Arsenal have been mentioned in the report as having an interest in signing Barcola, although it remains unclear if any club has an advantage at this stage.
PSG boss Luis Enrique made it clear last year that it was is preference for Barcola to remain at the club.

He said: "Bradley Barcola’s future? I have no doubt he'll remain our player.
"We like the fact that our players are interesting to other clubs. But he's one of those young players we've been banking on. I expect him to play here for many more years."
Barcola is not the only wide forward to be linked with Liverpool ahead of this summer’s transfer window, with RB Leipzig star Yan Diomande also frequently mentioned as a potential target.
Liverpool will also have to build a squad for new manager Andoni Iraola, who replaced Arne Slot in the Anfield dugout earlier this month.
Arsenal are also thought to be in the market for new forwards this summer, with Bournemouth star Eli Junior Kroupi and Aston Villa playmaker Morgan Rogers listed as players of interest to the Gunners.
