Paris St Germain manager Luis Enrique has opted not to address the growing speculation surrounding Bradley Barcola's potential summer transfer to Liverpool. The 23-year-old winger has caught the eye of new Reds boss Andoni Iraola, who is looking to bolster his squad at Anfield.

Having netted three goals for France during the World Cup, Barcola has returned to PSG in preparation for the upcoming Super Cup match against Aston Villa, the Europa League winners, set for Wednesday in Salzburg.

When questioned about Barcola's future, Enrique stated:

I don’t know and I don’t want to speak about any player individually. Because it’s always dangerous when you are asking something positive or negative about a player. I stay focused on my team.

Barcola rejoined squad activities last Monday alongside PSG’s other French and Spanish internationals, following the World Cup. Despite this, he remains a possible inclusion in the match against Villa.

We are going to train today,

Enrique described the situation as surreal, noting the tight preparation time since the arrival of international players just a week before the match.

It’s very important for us and our club to win. But in terms of preparation, it’s not what it should have been.

PSG has experienced a period of success under Enrique, securing nine trophies in the past two seasons. However, the manager is determined to continue this momentum, aiming to replicate Real Madrid's achievement of winning a third consecutive Champions League title.

We set out ambitious objectives and we continue to do so,

Marquinhos, PSG's captain, echoed Enrique's sentiments, stating that the coach had outlined the club's lofty ambitions three years ago, likening their journey to climbing Everest.

Every day in training sessions our coach is looking to strive for the best. On day one he said we have Everest to climb and we keep going up and trying to improve and improve.
