L'Equipe reports that Barcora chose to leave due to his role as a substitute, and PSG has already offered him a pay rise.

After months of careful consideration, Barcora has decided to end the suspense and cease negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain regarding a contract extension (his current contract expires in 2028).

This was a choice made from a competitive standpoint, given that the contract extension offer from Paris already included a substantial pay rise.

Barcora, often deployed as a rotation player, is frequently positioned on the wing, but he is unwilling to renew his contract within the existing role framework – it is precisely this positioning that has relegated him to the bench in both Champions League finals.

Does this choice mean he will inevitably leave the team this summer? This is the key question in the coming weeks.

Four clubs—Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea—have already made offers to him, but he has ruled out Chelsea. Barcora understands that his future depends on the overall development of the European winger market. Real Madrid's pursuit of RB Leipzig striker Jan Diomande has changed the game; the Ivorian player was originally Paris Saint-Germain's primary target, with the two sides agreeing on contract terms weeks ago.
