Bayern Munich Still See PSG’s Bradley Barcola as Plan B Behind Barcelona Transfer Target | OneFootball

PSG are one win away from completing a treble, thanks in large part to the squad depth they’ve built under Luis Enrique. The Spanish manager has leaned on rotation throughout the season, helping the club secure back-to-back Ligue 1 titles and lift the Coupe de France.

While the approach has worked, not everyone is thrilled with their role. Some players feel they’re ready for more responsibility, and Bradley Barcola might be one of them. The young forward is now drawing interest from Bayern Munich, casting doubt on his future in Paris.

This week, Sky Sport Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported that Bayern Munich board member for sport Max Eberl left the team’s training camp in Florida to focus on squad planning. Eberl is holding talks with agents and other board members as Bayern continue to map out their summer strategy.

As the club searches for a new winger, Bayern are keeping a close watch on whether Barcelona can finalize a deal for Athletic Club’s Nico Williams. Barcola remains high on their list of targets, while AC Milan’s Rafael Leão has also been discussed internally.

In his recent column, Bayern Munich insider Christian Falk revealed that Bayern Munich still see Barcola as a Plan B option if they are unable to secure Athletic Club’s Nico Williams, who is linked to Barcelona.

“FC Bayern still can’t agree on which player is best for the club. Nico Williams is still the ideal number one signing,” Falk wrote. “They think Leão doesn’t contribute as effectively with his defensive work. Barcola is hard to get; PSG don’t want to sell him.

“Interestingly, though, Bradley Barcola has changed agents. He is no longer being advised by star agent Jorge Mendes, Cristiano Ronaldo’s old representative.

“He has switched to Moussa Sissoko and Marco Lichtsteiner. They are also Jamie Gittens’ agents. The agency is also very well connected with FC Bayern. If there is a chance of a transfer, FC Bayern will be attentive to the opportunity.”

Despite this rumor, Foot Mercato’s Josué Cassé recently reported that Barcola isn’t leaving PSG, as he remains a key part of the club’s project and has no intention of moving on.
