Tottenham is interested in recruiting Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) winger Bradley Barcola. Barcola, who belongs to the same team as Lee Kang-in, is also one of the players whose chances of playing in the second half of the season have decreased.

The British newspaper Give Me Sports reported on the 4th (Korea time) "Tottenham Hotspur are reported to be paying keen attention to Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola this summer"

Tottenham, the UEFA Europa League winner last season, have been interested in Barcola in recent months and have shown interest in bringing them to the team.




Tottenham plan to prepare for the team's future through Barcola. Even if he does not move immediately, he is expected to be on the long-term recruitment list.

PSG are less likely to sell Barcola in the transfer window this summer. Barcola, the Champions League winner, is still considered an important resource for the team.

PSG estimates Barcola's ransom at least 100 million euros (about 155 billion won). It is said that the proposal below this will not even be considered.




Barcola has quickly grown into a key player under PSG boss Luis Enrique since moving to PSG from Lyon in 2023. Despite being a young 22-year-old, Barcola is considered a world-class winger. Barcola played in 58 matches throughout all tournaments this season, scoring 21 goals and 19 assists.

Barcola played a crucial role in PSG's treble achievement and also made a second-half substitute appearance in the Champions League final, which beat Inter Milan 5-0.

However, it is not that there is no possibility of Barcola's transfer at all. Winger resources are saturated within PSG, which recruited Khvicha Kvaratshelia last season. As such, Barcola also lost some of his chances to play. As he is fiercely competing with Kvaratshelia, Usman Dembele, and Desiree Doue, Barcola will have to compete again for the starting lineup next season.

In order to avoid competition and ensure a stable opportunity to play, you may consider moving to another team.

Tottenham may not actively recruit coach Enze Postecoglou until his future is resolved. Most of the players currently linked are offensive resources. This seems to have taken into account Son Heung-min's departure. Barcola is a left flanker who mainly plays. Son Heung-min is currently in charge of Tottenham's left flank attack.

In addition, Manchester City's Jack Grealish and Bayern Munich's Leroy Sane are linked with Tottenham. All are side attack resources.

Son Heung-min, who has played for Tottenham for 10 years, is constantly speculating that he will leave the team due to poor performance.

There are opinions that Postecoglou is also likely to break up. It is unclear whether Tottenham will be able to take the helm next season, even though they have led Tottenham to a championship for the first time in 17 years. If the coach changes, Tottenham cannot actively participate at the moment because it has to bring in a player who fits the next coach's tactics.

According to European football transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, Tottenham will make a decision on Postecoglou's future as soon as possible. It is said that several alternatives are being considered internally.
