A champion of the last Champions League enters Barça's radar! Who is it?

Joan Laporta, president of FC Barcelona, is already visualizing the 2026 elections, where he will present his candidacy again to extend his term. To strengthen his campaign, one of his goals is to bring in a world-class player. One of the names pointed out in this new project is Bradley Barcola.

The Frenchman is one of the fashionable forwards in European football. In the last year, the 22-year-old attacker has won the Champions League with Paris Saint Germain and was runner-up in the Club World Cup, adding a total of 21 goals and 21 assists in 64 matches.

How much is Bradley Barcola worth?

The French international is valued at 80 million euros, according to 'Transfermarkt' and his salary is around 6.6 'kilos' net per year, a figure that the blaugrana club would be willing to pay, thinking of a replacement for Lewandowski, who has one year left on his contract. Considering that his contract ends in 2028, it is likely that PSG will set his departure at around 70-80 million.

Naturally, Barcola can play as a winger, but he can adapt to the center of the attack. Alongside the options of Erling Haaland and Julián Álvarez, the most profitable could be Bradley, at least as far as the contract is concerned. Not only for his value in the market, but also for his current situation in the team led by Luis Enrique.

Laporta does not rule out the arrival of another signing for Barça in the short term

In an interview granted by the president of the azulgrana club to 'CNN' he admitted that the transfer market is not closed for FC Barcelona. "As a club, we have to have more players than usual; that means we have to invest and do our best to have a more competitive squad," he said.

The closing of the transfer market is on September 1, so there is less than a month left to incorporate players into the squad. So far, Barça has incorporated Marcus Rashford, Joan García and Roony Bardghji, the latter being a bet for the future, as he is only 19 years old.

Similarly, Barça has officially released Pau Víctor to Braga, Álex Valle to Como and Pablo Torre to Mallorca, in addition to renewing and loaning Ansu Fati to AS Monaco. On the other hand, Clement Lenglet's contract was terminated. Oriol Romeu and Iñaki Peña could also be added in the coming days.

Beyond the possibility of going for another reinforcement, the case of Bradley Barcola is only contemplated in the long term. Hansi Flick already has his six forwards defined for the 25/26 season, with Lewandowski and Ferran Torres being his area references. Rashford can also perform this function, but he will be located more as a left winger, alternating prominence with Raphinha.
