PSG winger offered to Barcelona after changing agents; could cost at least €80 million

With Sissoko now managing his affairs, there have been several disagreements with PSG’s sporting management during the current season.

PSG have made initial approaches to discuss a new contract for Barcola, but although his current deal runs until 2028, Sissoko’s response suggests that negotiations may not progress smoothly or reach a favourable conclusion.

Europe’s leading clubs, all seeking attacking reinforcements, are monitoring the situation closely. Sissoko remains open to contacts and willing to listen to offers, leaving the door open for a potential transfer.

The Frenchman’s agent has also taken the opportunity to remind clubs that a move for Barcola is possible if they are capable of financing a significant deal. This includes Barcelona.

Barcelona’s stance

Within Barcelona’s offices, there is no particularly positive memory of dealings with Sissoko following Dembele’s departure, but opportunities in the market remain under consideration.

Another question is whether Barcola’s agent is using Barcelona’s name to stimulate the market and apply pressure on PSG during contract negotiations.

For now, Barcola is one of the players being evaluated by Deco.

Two key questions remain unresolved: firstly, whether Barcelona’s sporting director considers the French forward to be a suitable high-level addition to the attack next season; and secondly, whether the club possesses the financial capacity to complete such a signing.

After all, any deal would require a fee of at least €80 million, provided PSG do agree to part ways with the 23-year-old.
