Amid Barcelona’s search for a new left-winger this summer, the name of Bradley Barcola has officially entered the discussion at the highest levels of the club. Sources close to the Camp Nou hierarchy reveal that Barcola is admired by both club president Joan Laporta and members of the Sporting Department, who see him as a technically gifted and explosive option for the future.
🔍 Key Insights:
Barcola’s versatility, pace, and progress under Luis Enrique at PSG have caught the eye of Barcelona’s top brass.
He is being considered as a plan B or C option behind other top targets should priority deals fall through.
However, Sporting Director Deco is reportedly not convinced of Barcola’s readiness or fit within Xavi’s (or his successor’s) system.
⚠️ Internal Split:
While Laporta and several advisors are pushing for a young, dynamic winger, Deco has other names on his shortlist and believes Barcola lacks the physicality and consistency needed for the Catalan giants.
This disagreement has put the potential move on hold, with no formal contact made with PSG yet.
As it stands, Barcola remains an appreciated profile — but not a unanimous choice. Unless there’s a shift in stance internally, this deal is unli
kely to progress.
