Barcelona are not interested in a deal to sign Arsenal and Liverpool target Bradley Barcola from Paris Saint-Germain.

The Spanish champions have been linked with a move to sign Barcola in recent days, as the club seek an attacking addition. Barcelona have bid for Julian Alvarez, of Atletico Madrid, without success and remain keen to add another goalscorer to their ranks.

However, Fabrizio Romano has reported that Barcelona are not targeting Barcola. The La Liga side remain intent on signing Alvarez and are seeking an out-and-out number nine, following Robert Lewandowski’s exit.

Liverpool are leading the chase for the 23-year-old, though face a fight to convince PSG to sell. According to French journalist Sebastien Vidal, Liverpool are preparing to lodge an opening offer of around £85m.

Arsenal also admire Barcola, as Mikel Arteta seeks forward additions. The Gunners have completed the signing of Christos Tzolis from Club Brugge for £34m, but remain keen to sign another left-sided forward.

Barcola is contemplating an exit from the back-to-back European champions after falling behind Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desire Doue in Luis Enrique’s plans. PSG are also pursuing new wingers with talks ongoing for Maghnes Akliouche and Yan Diomande.
