The Coupe du monde 2026 is in full swing, and while nations like the Netherlands and Germany faced early elimination in the Round of 32, the French team demonstrated their prowess by overcoming Sweden with a decisive 3-0 victory on Tuesday night. As has often been the case in this competition, the answer came from Kylian Mbappé, who netted a brace against the Swedish defense. After Adrien Rabiot‘s goal against Senegal (3-1), it was another left-footed player, Michael Olise, who provided a perfectly weighted pass for Bradley Barcola, leading to another crucial goal.

Barcola’s future at PSG in question?

On American soil, Bradley Barcola has been making a significant impact with the French national team, consistently earning praise whether starting or coming off the bench. However, his future with the Parisian club post-World Cup, despite being under contract until June 2028, appears uncertain. It was previously revealed that tensions were rising behind the scenes between Liverpool and Barcola’s representatives. Recent reports further corroborate this exclusive information.

Liverpool and Arsenal keen as PSG sets transfer price

Discussions regarding his contract extension at PSG have reportedly stalled for the past year. This situation has prompted the Parisian management to consider opening the door for his departure, but only for an offer deemed « very interesting » financially. Liverpool is reportedly among the interested parties, prepared to offer a prominent role to Bradley Barcola. Meanwhile, Arsenal is said to view him as an alternative option to Morgan Rogers, who is also competing in the World Cup with England.
