PSG attacker Bradley Barcola has been linked with a move away from the club in recent months.
Manchester United have been linked as a potential destination. According to former Everton CEO Keith Wyness, there could be a swap deal involving Marcus Rashford and Barcola in future. It will be interesting to see if all parties can come to an agreement.
According to Keith Wyness (via Football Insider): “Well, the interesting news and development on that story is that PSG are claiming to be coming in here, and there could be some sort of player swap deal with Bradley Barcola, which makes sense, I think, for United.
“He’s obviously a lot younger, was he? About 23, I think. And if they were to get Rashford and a player swap, that would, I think, suit United more than releasing him at the pretty low level, I think, that Barcelona had got, which is going to be about 30 million from memory.”
Manchester United will look to get rid of Rashford, who does not have a future at Old Trafford. Getting the opportunity to sign Barcola as a part of that deal would be a huge bonus for the English club.
The French attacker is highly rated across Europe, and he registered 42 goal contributions last season. He is capable of operating on either flank, and he will add goals and creativity to the side. Manchester United are in desperate need of more quality in the final third, and the French attacker could develop into a world-class player for them with the right guidance.
He is not a guaranteed starter for PSG, and the player could be attracted to the idea of moving to England. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Meanwhile, Rashford is currently on loan at Barcelona, and they have an option to sign in permanently. It will be interesting to see if they decide to take the opportunity. If they decide to sign him, PSG are unlikely to be able to get the deal done.
