Back on the pitch on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League after an ankle sprain, Bradley Barcola proved decisive. The PSG winger delivered an assist on Ousmane Dembele's goal that sealed the win. Internally, his contract extension remains on the table.

Paris Saint-Germain secured a new qualification for the Champions League semifinals on Tuesday night. The French capital club will face Bayern Munich.

Luis Enrique's men got the job done under the torrential rain of Anfield, winning 2-0. A victory that allows the Parisians to reach the Champions League semifinals for the third consecutive year. A match that also saw the return of Barcola, 23.

The French international winger came back after an ankle injury. Absent for the first leg, the former Lyon player started on the bench before replacing Desire Doue in the 52nd minute of play due to injury.

Internally, the capital club wishes to extend its player's contract, and negotiations have been ongoing for several weeks. Under contract until 2028, Barcola has yet to reach an agreement with the reigning European champion.

On Tuesday night, journalist Ekrem Konur revealed that discussions are stalling. "Negotiations for the contract extension between Bradley Barcola and PSG remain complicated," he explained.

The Parisian club wants to extend the former Lyon player's deal, but an agreement on salary must be reached. At the beginning of 2026, the British press reported that certain Premier League clubs were monitoring the situation closely.

Arsenal is the preferred destination in the event of a departure, according to Spanish outlet Fichajes. The saga is far from over, and several key members of the Parisian squad are in discussions about contract extensions.

The French winger has also been linked to Liverpool in recent months. Considering that PSG has players like Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Doue, Senny Mayulu, Lee Kang-In, and Ibrahim Mbaye, among others, it is normal for Barcola and the aforementioned players to be linked to big Premier League clubs. Time will tell.
