According to insights from close observers, the departure of Barcola might be contingent on PSG‘s ability to secure a suitable successor. Among the names frequently mentioned are Maghnes Akliouche (AS Monaco) and Yan Diomandé (RB Leipzig), both of whom could provide the attacking depth needed. Even Julián Álvarez (Atlético Madrid) has been floated as a potential target, though his preference for FC Barcelona complicates matters.
