Real Madrid Are Eager To Land This Paris Saint-Germain Winger: What Will He Add To Alonso’s Side?

In a recent report, Fichajes revealed that Real Madrid are eager to land Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola. It has been stated that Los Blancos are eyeing a move to bring the French wide player to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium next year.

Barcola’s Impressive Form In Ligue 1

Barcola enjoyed an excellent run of form at the French club in the previous campaign when he produced a handful of impressive displays for them in the final third. The 23-year-old registered 21 goals and picked up 21 assists in 64 matches for PSG last season across multiple competitions.

The French talent gave a good account of himself in the final third as he averaged 3.05 shots per 90 minutes in Ligue 1. He kept 51.4% of his attempts on target. Barcola was even tidy when distributing the ball in the opponent’s half after making 81.7% of his attempted passes in the French first division (stats via fbref.com).

Barcola is under contract at the French club until the summer of 2028. Hence, it won’t be easy for Los Blancos to get a deal done for him on the cheap next year.

What Will Barcola Add To Real Madrid Boss Xabi Alonso’s Side?

Barcola is a good dribbler with the ball at his feet and has got the vision to orchestrate a few promising chances for his teammates to score. He can shoot the ball with venom from long range and can contribute by scoring and creating a lot of important goals for his team.

The French attacker is primarily a left-sided wide player but can also operate as a right-winger or as a centre-forward if needed. However, there are some concerns over whether he would be able to make a smooth transition to life in La Liga if Real Madrid manage to snap him up next year.

Barcola would add more goals and creativity to Los Blancos head coach Xabi Alonso’s defence. He might even help Real Madrid compete for some major trophies in the coming years.

Therefore, the Madrid giants would be wise to try everything they can to lure him to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium this January or at the end of this campaign.
