Barcola asks to leave PSG as Greenwood edges toward a Marseille exit
Main stories
Bradley Barcola has asked to leave PSG, according to multiple reports, with Football365 citing the winger's frustration at reduced playing time after slipping behind Ousmane Dembélé, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Désiré Doué under Luis Enrique. Arsenal and Liverpool are both said to be readying moves, while PSG — who have made little progress on a new contract for a deal expiring in 2028 — publicly maintain he will not be sold. The situation is reported rather than resolved, with Paris valuing the 23-year-old at around £100m.
Mason Greenwood is edging toward an exit from Marseille, with Goal reporting that he has agreed personal terms with Roma and is keen to join Gian Piero Gasperini's side. Marseille are said to be seeking around €55m, with the structure still under negotiation; no agreement between the clubs has been confirmed.
Juventus, meanwhile, are pressing to bring Randal Kolo Muani back from PSG, per Goal, having previously reached an agreement in principle that stalled over the need for a sale. A fresh approach is reported to be in the works, though the deal remains unconfirmed.
Transfer and squad notes
PSG did secure one of their own earlier in the window, agreeing a contract extension to 2031 with academy midfielder Senny Mayulu, a retention that stands in contrast to the uncertainty around Barcola, per Le Quotidien du Sport.
Marseille's Nayef Aguerd remains a likely sale, with Get French Football News reporting that a €15m release clause has drawn interest from Europe and the Gulf; the Morocco defender missed the World Cup after surgery.
Monaco continued their defensive business, with reporting attributed to L'Équipe indicating an agreement with FC Metz for centre-back Sadibou Sané worth up to around €10m on a five-year deal — described as advanced to done rather than merely exploratory.
What it means for the league
PSG's summer is increasingly defined by the Barcola question — whether to cash in amid Premier League interest or hold firm — even as they juggle a possible Kolo Muani return and tie down younger talent like Mayulu. Marseille, for their part, look set to bankroll a rebuild through sales, with Greenwood's likely departure and Aguerd's situation freeing funds. With many of these players at the World Cup — Barcola scored on his France debut — several of the biggest moves are likely to crystallise once the tournament ends.
