What Bradley Barcola's agents were directly told by Arsenal when they called Andrea Berta

Arsenal are on the lookout for a new left-winger after missing out on Vinicius Jr.

Mikel Arteta plotted an ambitious move for the Brazilian superstar, and everyone at the club, including the Kroenkes, approved the move.

However, Vinicius decided to stay at Real Madrid in the end, and the Gunners have since had to explore other targets.

Arsenal fans think Bradley Barcola is the perfect alternative, but when the Frenchman’s agents called Andrea Berta, they were told that a deal would only be done on their terms.

What Arsenal have made clear to Bradley Barcola’s agents

Bradley Barcola is one of the most exciting wingers in Europe.

The France international has produced some excellent performances for Paris Saint-Germain in recent years, but he has decided against renewing his contract there.

A move away from PSG is very likely for Barcola, who has been linked with a move to Arsenal for several weeks now.

However, the Gunners are not pushing hard for his signature.

That’s according to Football Transfers, who have revealed that when Barcola’s agents made a call to Arsenal to ask if they want their client, they were told in no uncertain terms that they would not meet PSG’s demands.

The European champions value their winger at €170 million (£145m), which is an outrageous amount of money. Andrea Berta, however, only values him at a fee between €105 million and €111 million (£90m-£95m).

If PSG drop their demands to such a level, Arsenal could well make a move, but that is unlikely because of Liverpool.

The report claims that Andoni Iraola’s side are ready to pay up to €120 million (£103m) to sign Barcola, so PSG are naturally more likely to accept that figure than what Arsenal would be willing to pay.

It will be interesting to see who the Gunners will go for now to strengthen their left wing.
