Liverpool, Bayern ‘learn PSG’s stance’ on 21-goal attacker Barcola
Paris Saint-Germain has reportedly made it known that Bradley Barcola is not available for transfer this summer, despite growing interest from top European clubs.
The 22-year-old winger has recently been linked with a move away from the French champions, with both Liverpool and Bayern Munich reportedly keeping close tabs on his situation ahead of the new season.
Barcola delivered a standout campaign for PSG during the 2024–25 season, racking up 21 goals and 19 assists across 58 appearances in all competitions.
Despite his impressive numbers, he was named on the bench for the Champions League final, with the trio of Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia preferred in the starting lineup.
Speculation had suggested Bayern were making Barcola a priority signing, while reports also hinted at Liverpool’s growing interest. But according to Foot Mercato, PSG have taken a firm stance, reportedly informing all suitors that Barcola will not be allowed to leave this summer.
The report indicates that PSG view Barcola as a core part of their long-term vision and are not considering any scenarios in which he would be sold.
Since his switch from Lyon to Paris in the summer of 2023, Barcola has made 97 appearances for PSG, scoring 26 goals and providing 28 assists. His development and consistent performances have made him a key asset at the club.
Meanwhile, Liverpool are said to have reached an agreement worth £116.5 million with Bayer Leverkusen for midfielder Florian Wirtz, which would represent a British transfer record.
On the other hand, Bayern Munich appear to be focusing their efforts on Athletic Bilbao’s Nico Williams.
However, Barcelona have reportedly entered the picture for Williams, meeting with his agent recently to explore a move to Camp Nou.
With PSG unwilling to part ways with Barcola, both Liverpool and Bayern seem to be shifting their attention elsewhere, as the Ligue 1 giants remain determined to keep one of their brightest talents during a transformative era for the club.

Rumors debunked: Ronaldo hasn’t left Saudi Arabia
Reports claiming that Cristiano Ronaldo has left Saudi Arabia with his family and returned to Madrid are completely false.
The speculation — which alleged that Ronaldo had fled following issues in his last match for Al Nassr FC and amid tensions in the Middle East — has been firmly debunked as fake news.
According to respected journalist Fabrizio Romano, Ronaldo remains in Saudi Arabia and is currently undergoing treatment at Al Nassr’s training facilities.
The Portuguese superstar is reportedly recovering from minor problems sustained in his most recent game and has not departed the country.
Ronaldo remains fully committed to Al Nassr, where he has been a central figure since joining in 2023, and continues to focus on his duties in the Saudi Pro League as he prepares for upcoming fixtures.

Bayern Munich consider Osimhen as contingency plan amid Kane uncertainty (Details)
FC Bayern Munich are reportedly weighing up a potential move for Victor Osimhen should Harry Kane depart the club in the future.
Although Kane remains under contract in Munich until 2027 and a summer exit is considered unlikely, sporting director Max Eberl is said to be preparing for every scenario. With several top European sides and clubs from Saudi Arabia monitoring Kane’s situation, Bayern are assessing elite alternatives to avoid being caught off guard.
Osimhen, currently featuring for Galatasaray S.K., has scored 17 goals in 25 appearances this season. Head coach Vincent Kompany is understood to admire the Nigerian striker’s physicality, pace, and clinical edge.
Reports suggest Bayern are among a select group of clubs capable of activating the release clause in Osimhen’s contract — which runs until 2029 — potentially paving the way for a Bundesliga switch if Kane’s situation changes.
Meanwhile, midfielder Konrad Laimer reportedly played through ankle pain in Bayern’s recent win over Dortmund, underlining the squad’s resilience during a crucial stage of the campaign.

Barcelona fail to complete Remontada, exit Copa del Rey in semi-final (VIDEO)
FC Barcelona produced a spirited display in the second semi-final as they attempted to overturn a daunting 4-0 first-leg deficit.
The Catalans struck twice in the first half through Marc Bernal and Raphinha, igniting hopes of a famous comeback. Barcelona continued to pile on the pressure after the break, with Bernal grabbing his second of the night to make it three for the hosts.
