Bradley Barcola reportedly does not want to join Mauricio Pochettino’s Chelsea.
According to 90min, Chelsea are interested in signing Bradley Barcola from Lyon in the summer transfer window.
Bradley Barcola stance on potential Chelsea transfer
Chelsea want to sign Barcola after failing to bring in Michael Olise from London and Premier League rivals Crystal Palace this summer.
However, the 20-year-old, who can operate as a forward or as a winger, does not want to move to the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners.
90min are reporting that the France Under-21 international wants to make the move to Paris Saint-Germain instead.
Ligue 1 champions PSG are reportedly interested in Barcola and are in talks with Lyon over a potential deal for the 20-year-old.
While Chelsea will be disappointed with Bradley Barcola’s stance, we do not think that the Blues actually need the forward right now.
Yes, Barcola has a lot of potential, and PSG’s interest in him shows just how highly he is rated in the footballing community.
But, Chelsea have enough forwards/wide players/wingers.
What the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners need right now is a striker.
Nicolas Jackson is doing well for Chelsea at the moment, and while head coach Mauricio Pochettino also has Armando Broja at his disposal, signing an experienced striker in the final days of the summer transfer window would not be a bad idea.
Barcola is not a ‘striker’, and given that he is only 20, he could take a few more years to get to his best.
Chelsea have enough young players who are not the finished article.
They do not need yet another one.
Barcola made 15 starts and 11 substitute appearances in Ligue 1 for Lyon last season.
The young forward scored five goals and gave eight assists in those games.
