PSG star Bradley Barcola has been backed to make a move to Arsenal over Liverpool, as he would prEfer to live in London if he leaves the French Champions.<\/p>\n
Arsenal could be ready to rival Liverpool for the signing of Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola, with the Gunners reportedly revisiting their interest in the France international after missing out on Vinicius Junior.<\/p>\n
The 23-year-old has emerged as a potential alternative for Arsenal as Mikel Arteta continues to assess attacking options ahead of the new season. Barcola\u2019s representatives are understood to have made contact with the north London club to establish whether they would be prepared to reignite their interest.<\/p>\n
Liverpool have already held preliminary discussions with PSG over a potential deal for the winger, according to the latest reports. However, the reigning Premier League champions are yet to make a formal move, with PSG\u2019s valuation believed to be a major obstacle.<\/p>\n
The French champions are reportedly demanding around \u00a3145 million for Barcola, a figure that neither Liverpool nor Arsenal currently appear willing to meet.<\/p>\n
Arsenal are believed to value the former Lyon academy graduate closer to \u00a3130m, leaving a sizeable gap between their valuation and PSG\u2019s asking price. Any move would therefore require significant negotiations if the Gunners are to turn their renewed interest into a concrete offer<\/p>\n
Asked whether Barcola would be better suited to ARSENAL<\/strong><\/a><\/em> or Liverpool, Perry Groves told talkSPORT: \u2018I\u2019ve got no dog in the fight, but I would say the Gooners because LIVERPOOL<\/strong><\/a> are a team that are in transition.<\/p>\n \u2018Andoni Iraola going in there, imposing his own philosophy, his own style with all the new signings coming in.<\/p>\n \u2018If you were Barcola and you thought, what out of those two sides have got the most chance of winning the Premier League or Champions League, at the moment you\u2019d say it was Arsenal.<\/p>\n \u2018So it\u2019s whether Arsenal want to go in, if they go in for him, then there would have been advances being made to his people.<\/p>\n \u2018Because they don\u2019t want to be seen losing out on Vinicius Junior being played like a little kitten with a ball of wool, but Arsenal have to be in for those sorts of players. That\u2019s the level Arsenal are at now.\u2019<\/p>\n Groves, who won two league titles at ARSENAL<\/strong><\/a><\/em>, added: \u2018I\u2019ve got a source that says he [Barcola] wants to live in London.<\/p>\n \u2018I can\u2019t tell you (who), I can\u2019t divulge my sources. I\u2019ve got a source. I\u2019ve got a mole. Barcola wants to live in London.\u2019<\/p>\n MORE ARSENAL NEWS AND GOSSIP \u2013\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Top Read: Brand New signing sends Arsenal message \u2013 \u00a342M star keen join Gunners \u2013 Arteta can sign target for \u00a386M<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Most Read: Arsenal agree deal with Germans for midfielder \u2013 Gunners ready sign \u00a375m forward \u2013 Gunners on verge announcing deal for winger<\/a><\/p>\n Must Check Out: CONFIRMED MOVE!
