‘Today’: £43m player is now having a medical elsewhere, just days after holding talks with Chelsea
Bradley Barcola is now undergoing a medical with PSG – just days after holding talks with Chelsea.
That is according to Fabrizio Romano.
So, what is the latest on Bradley Barcola after the Lyon No.26 spoke to Chelsea? Let’s take a look…
Well – according to Foot Mercato – Chelsea stepped up their interest in the Frenchman after missing out on Michael Olise.
Talks continued, with Romano adding that Lyon told Chelsea they wanted players included in any bid for the France Under-21 international as well as cash.
Now – however – Barcola is joining PSG instead of Chelsea.
Romano believes the 20-year-old is currently undergoing his medical examinations with PSG today (Thursday) after flying into Paris overnight.
PSG and Lyon eventually shook hands on a €50m (£43m) fee after two months of negotiations, according to the reliable Italian journalist.
There was apparently a feeling that Chelsea could hijack the deal as Lyon continued to change their asking price – according to Romano – which left PSG feeling very nervous.
However, everything has now been ironed out, and the deal should be announced soon.
