Bradley Barcola Situation
• Moussa Sissoko has been trying to renew Bradley Barcola’s contract for the best part of 9-12 months. Talks have been difficult, and it reached a point where both parties agreed to put negotiations on hold so that Barcola and PSG could focus on important fixtures in April and May.
• Soon after the UEFA Champions League final, talks resumed and remain ongoing. The player reportedly told people close to him that he was disappointed not to start a number of important fixtures.
• PSG’s position is clear: renew or we will sell, as his contract expires in June 2028. Personally, I think that is a significant stance for the club to take.
• Barcola’s agent also represents Ousmane Dembélé and Désiré Doué and maintains a good relationship with PSG. The club is also in serious talks regarding Yan Diomande and Maghnes Akliouche, which could further influence the situation surrounding Barcola.
Both Arsenal and Liverpool are interested, but I want to explain Arsenal’s side of the story.
• Andrea Berta made serious enquiries into Barcola’s situation last summer. At the time, Arsenal were informed that the player would stay for at least one more year. Since then, Berta has remained in constant contact with Sissoko and has made it clear that Barcola is of serious interest to Arsenal. He has also asked to be notified if PSG become open to a sale. Should Arsenal make an official approach towards PSG, there will be a further update.
• Arsenal also hold an interest in Morgan Rogers and one other player(sensitive info currently). More on that in due course.
• As always, Andrea Berta is willing to agree personal terms with multiple targets and make a move when the timing suits Arsenal.
Before I sign off, there is something worth noting. Berta is very happy for misinformation to circulate publicly. Berta & Co are busy behind the scenes, and many details remain unknown as Arsenal move silently.
Allow me to provide a free exclusive as an example of that which is unknown. Arsenal made standard checks on Nico Paz. Nico was reportedly left confused following a recent call with Mourinho, although another conversation may be scheduled. Arsenal have also made serious checks on Christos Tzolis, the Greek winger.
My point is that a great deal is happening behind the curtain. Embrace the silence and, as always, choose your sources of information carefully.

PO and myself did not even discuss this but this was exactly my answer in my interview on my pinned tweet when I was asked about INEC
This interview was done on his recent trip to the U.S.
In 2017, I traveled to China to source automated agricultural equipment for a commercial farming project. My focus was on battery cages, feed milling systems, and silos.
After a week of visiting different Manufacturers and Factories I couldn’t find a Battery Cage System that wasn’t Power dependent- They entire world was using Fully Automated Battery Cage System.
One young CEO became genuinely frustrated with me when I told him-His Automated Battery Cages (with sensors and temperature regulators) wouldn’t work for me because I didn’t have Electricity.
When I explained that reliable electricity was not available in Nigeria, he thought I was exaggerating. To him, uninterrupted power was such a basic requirement for business that the absence of it seemed impossible.
He asked, “How do Survive”? So I showed him on Baidu and he genuinely felt sorry for me.
Even my translator, Cherry, struggled to understand what I meant. We eventually had to research it online before she accepted that a country of over 200 million people could have such a fundamental infrastructure gap.
After further investigation, she helped us locate a manufacturer in Henan Province that produced semi-automated systems specifically for African markets—equipment designed to operate despite unreliable power supply.
Nine years later, the situation remains largely unchanged.
I still do not have Electricity in any farm I own or have helped develop.
