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.

@itsnotovaaah men have work in the morning 🤣

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@larsbohemian Arsenal win EPL and goes to final of UCL and their arguably best player of the season is still getting disrespected left right and centre, quite incredible.. if Rice was playing for Bayern he is in Ballon Dor convos for performances he is putting in consistently

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@thebottomcorna not really, if we consider how many games he missed through various injuries i would not rule out him getting sold

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@Oye440 considering his fitness issues going on for 2 seasons now i personaly would consider it

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@SamW_AFC Hincapie is more suited to CB role, let Calafiori be unicorn he is

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@MCFC_bZ @EBL2017 if you look at those "wrong decisions" they are eluding to and basing that table you referenced to there is for example Dalot tackle against Man City at Old Trafford that United won 2-0...basicly saying if United got Dalot sent off City wins that game which is insane stretch imo

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@Bloodofolympus he is better than what he was 2 years ago but people judge players based on goals and assists, man was struggling with fitness aswell while system we play is making him 10 8 and 6 at same time.. make him into our Bernardo Silva and he will cook

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@AFCMB_ psg are best team at paying agent fees to get what they want

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@_Afcbanks Jesus and Martinelli ... like what are we doing here

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@MCFC_bZ @EBL2017 suggesting City beat Villa if title was on the line is entering realm of "ifs, buts and maybe" and every club can do that.. its really funny to me that when Arsenal win there is tables being made to somehow diminish their success as a way to cope with it, childish really

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@MCFC_bZ @EBL2017 that means Arsenal still wins Prem because City lost to Aston Villa and Arsenal won against Palace so what is your point

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@ltarsenal wage demands and apparently he is asshole

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@johneke997 @GreatmenArs look he might have subbed him right after yellow and penalty never happens=Arsenal win

but that decision can also backfire if Timber does something stupid people will call Arteta out for wrong sub.. anyway it doesent matter now I'm jusy trying to look at it from different view

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@johneke997 @GreatmenArs yea he was done thats why he decided to rather bring on cold Timber off injury, prior to that apart from yellow there was 0 reason for it, he wasnt loosing his head either, his yellow wasnt for bad tackle but throw in

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@ArtetaEra nah man i made my peace with it, great work rate, loves the club but attacking wise we need more, he can be frustrating as hell in decisive moments

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@AdedipeEliza Rafael is type of player that appears in Arteta biggest nightmares as a reminder how lazy AF footballer looks like, we are never touching player like in million years because he doesent produce numbers neccessary to cover for his non existent work rate

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@Ramsgoat3 Saka is still our best attacker having been through alot of injuries, dragged his balls through desert of glass to get us here
Odegaard is better player than what he was in 22/23 and i die on that hill
Jesus ruined by unlucky injuries back to back
Madueke is backup
Martinelli uff

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@johneke997 @GreatmenArs i get yellow card arguement but Arteta knew if he subs Timber in at that time he might have to play almost 70-80 minutes if we go into extended full time period (which we did) and Timber wasnt up for that because if he was he would probably start that game.. sucks tho

[Tomáš Ján Ďurnek @YulyMuN]

@GreatmenArs playing game of that magnitude after not playing for god knows how long wont be fixed by having one first team training, he did not have any decend game under his belt and im sure if he was ready he would start
...we came into one of our biggest games with three injured fullbacks
