Arsenal have reportedly returned to the race for Bradley Barcola as Liverpool continue to work on a potential deal with Paris Saint-Germain. The Gunners are believed to have approached the French winger’s representatives, giving the Premier League transfer battle a new twist. Barcola is understood to be open to leaving PSG this summer, creating an opportunity for both clubs to compete for his signature.

Liverpool had recently shifted some attention toward defensive reinforcements after reaching an agreement to bring in Ronald Araujo from Barcelona on loan. With their backline concerns being addressed, the Reds can now focus again on strengthening their attack. Barcola remains one of their main targets, although Liverpool have yet to submit a formal offer to PSG despite discussions over the potential structure of a bid.

Arsenal are looking for another attacking option after missing out on Morgan Rogers and Vinicius Junior. Following the arrival of Bruno Guimaraes, Mikel Arteta is still keen to add more creativity and pace to his forward line. The club have previously explored several high-profile attacking targets, and their renewed interest in Barcola highlights the importance of finding a dynamic winger before the summer window closes.

PSG are reportedly demanding around £145 million for the 23-year-old France international, a valuation that could become even more difficult to negotiate if Arsenal join Liverpool in the race. Barcola is believed to prefer a move to Liverpool, but the absence of a formal bid leaves the door open for Arsenal to make their move. With two Premier League giants now competing for the same player, PSG could find themselves in a stronger position during negotiations.
