PSG's Bradley Barcola eyed for first French National Team call-up

With Kingsley Coman set to miss the upcoming international break, Bradley Barcola of PSG is being considered for his first call-up to the French national team.

Barcola joined PSG from Olympique Lyonnais for €45 million last summer. Although he initially struggled to adapt, he managed to secure a place in the starting eleven under the guidance of Luis Enrique.

With three goals and five assists in 31 appearances across all competitions for Les Parisiens, the club is gearing up for a future where Barcola becomes a central figure.

First call-up to Les Bleus

As a result, there are reports that PSG will not replace Kylian Mbappe when he departs at the end of the season, opting instead to prioritize Barcola's development, allowing him to be the first-choice on the left flank.

His performances have caught the attention of Didier Deschamps, who will announce his squad for this month's international matches on March 13th. According to Telefoot, Barcola is being considered as an option to replace the injured Coman, though a decision has yet to be made.

Les Bleus will face Germany on March 23rd before taking on Chile three days later, as part of their preparations for the upcoming Euros at the end of the season. If Barcola receives the call-up to the French national team, it will mark a significant milestone in his young career and a sign of his growth as an elite player.

Barcola's potential inclusion in the French squad would not only be a testament to his talent but also a reflection of PSG's commitment to nurturing young talent within their ranks.
