French club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is considering a move for Arsenal winger Gabriel Martinelli as a potential replacement for Bradley Barcola, who could leave the club during the upcoming summer transfer window.
Operative Information Center-OMM, citing reports from L’Équipe, reports that the Parisian side has already begun searching for candidates to fill the void if Barcola departs. The French champion is specifically looking at Martinelli as a primary option to bolster their attacking line.
Barcola, who has attracted significant interest from several top European clubs, is expected to leave the capital if a new contract agreement is not reached. Reports suggest that Arsenal may be open to sanctioning Martinelli's transfer for approximately £50 million as the North London club plans its own tactical adjustments and squad reinforcements for the next season.
PSG has been actively restructuring its squad under manager Luis Enrique, moving away from the "Galactico" era toward a model focused on younger, high-intensity players. Bradley Barcola has been a standout performer since his arrival from Lyon, while Gabriel Martinelli has established himself as one of the Premier League's most dangerous wide players. The potential move would represent a significant shift in the attacking dynamics for both the Ligue 1 and Premier League giants.
The statistics for both players at the club level this season are as follows:
- Bradley Barcola: 39 matches, 12 goals, 7 assists
- Gabriel Martinelli: 46 matches, 11 goals, 6 assists
