Arsenal have emerged as a serious contender to sign PSG winger Bradley Barcola.
Barcelona and Liverpool are also tracking the Frenchman, with reports suggesting they have already begun early talks over a potential move in the summer.
Arsenal have stepped up their interest in Barcola, as Mikel Arteta looks to strengthen his attacking options ahead of the new season.
According to Sky Germany, the North London club have made an approach for the PSG striker, identifying him as a key target to add competition on the left wing.
Arsenal are currently in a strong position in the league, but are already planning for sustained success in Europe.
The club's board believe a dynamic one-on-one striker like Barcola could add another dimension to Arteta's attacking line-up. Despite the current depth in attack, there are still concerns about the long-term consistency of the existing options.
Barcola's direct style and the danger he creates in attack have made him an attractive option for the English club.
According to the same reports, discussions about Barcola's future have already begun.
However, negotiations are still in the early stages and no formal offer has been submitted.
The report claims that "talks are already underway", suggesting that the striker's representatives are considering the possibility of a move away from Paris.
Barcola has not always been assured of regular minutes at PSG, despite his strong performances.
Interest in the 22-year-old is widespread across Europe, with Barcelona having long followed his development, while Liverpool are also interested as they look to renew their attacking options.
Barca's development has accelerated since his move from Lyon to PSG in 2023.
During his time in Paris, he has recorded 38 goals and 37 assists in 148 official appearances.
His impact has often been decisive, including a crucial performance against Bayern Munich in the Champions League semi-final that helped PSG reach the final. The striker has become a reliable option within Luis Enrique's rotation.
Barcola remains under contract in Paris until 2028, meaning PSG are under no immediate pressure to sell him. However, interest from some of Europe's giants could still create a major transfer battle./Express newspaper/
