August 13th 2026, 7:34 (Photos by Alexander Hassenstein and Florencia Tan Jun/Getty Images) Paris Saint-Germain chairman Nasser Al Khelaifi has seemingly left the door wide open regarding a potential exit from the club for Bradley Barcola.The winger has been Liverpool’s primary target during the summer transfer window, with reports claiming the Reds are prepared to spend as much as £120m to bring him to Anfield, although that still falls short of PSG’s rumoured asking price of £145m.PSG chief doesn’t rule out Barcola exitThe 23-year-old was an unused substitute in the Champions League holders’ 2-1 victory against Aston Villa in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday night, and the post-match comments from the Parc des Princes chief have fanned the flames of speculation over the forward’s future.Speaking about Barcola after the final whistle in Salzburg, Al Khelaifi told Canal+ (via Fabrizio Romano on X): “We’re working calmly. We don’t talk too much; we do.

I can’t say whether he will leave or not… Today, he is a PSG player. We’ll see.”Want more Empire of the Kop coverage?
