PSG Excludes Barcola as Liverpool Approaches a Deal
It has become clear from recent team sheets and various sources that manager Luis Enrique will not include Barcola in any match-day lineups until his situation is resolved.

Enrique wants players fully committed to the team’s goals, and Barcola’s thoughts about a potential exit suggest he is not focused on the current season. With new signings like Ferran Torres, Maghnes Akliouche, and Mika Godts, Barcola’s position has been effectively filled. Additionally, PSG aims to avoid any risk of injury to the winger, whose potential sale could exceed £130 million.
Positive indicators suggest that Liverpool and PSG may finalize an agreement this week.
In Other Developments…
Enrique’s decisions during the Trophee des Champions have made his squad plans for the upcoming season very clear.
The anticipated signing of Zion Suzuki from Parma appeared to be finalized but fell through at the last moment, leaving PSG seeking alternatives in their search for a new goalkeeper.

They also don’t want to risk injury to the winger, who could be sold for more than £130m.
