Man Utd Confident of Signing Paris Saint-Germain Winger Bradley Barcola
Manchester United are reportedly confident of being able to convince Paris Saint-Germain to part ways with Bradley Barcola, while they are also hopeful of convincing him to make the move to Old Trafford, according to Fichajes.
United were one of the sides in the race to sign Bournemouth forward Antoine Semenyo, but they look set to miss out to their rivals Manchester City. GIVEMESPORT sources confirmed that United were one of the frontrunners to secure his signature, but his preferred destination would be the Etihad Stadium.
The pursuit of Semenyo shows what one of United’s priorities could be when the January transfer window opens in just a few days. Ruben Amorim’s side are clearly in the market for a new attacker, and Barcola is the latest player to be linked with a move to Old Trafford.
Man Utd Prioritising Move to Sign Bradley Barcola
According to a report from Fichajes, Manchester United deem a move to sign PSG forward Barcola a ‘priority’ in the January transfer window. The Red Devils are believed to be confident of convincing Barcola to make the move to Old Trafford, while also being confident of convincing PSG to part ways with the tricky attacker.
United are set to face plenty of competition for his signature, including from other Premier League clubs, but it’s claimed that they could make a formal attempt to sign him in the winter window. It won’t be easy to convince PSG to part ways with Barcola, but the report claims that United are confident of doing so when the window opens in a few days time.

Barcola Would be a Statement Signing From Man Utd
If United were to pull off the signing of Barcola, praised as ‘one of the best wingers in the world’, in the January transfer window, it would be one of the best pieces of business INEOS have secure during their time at the club. It would be a real statement from the Manchester outfit, showing that they really mean business and are still one of the biggest clubs in the world, despite their lack of success recently.
Barcola is capable of playing in multiple positions across the front line, which would be very beneficial for Amorim. Considering the clubs who are also in the race to secure his signature, United might want to move fast when the January window opens.
