Despite PSG's desire to keep Barcola, Arsenal are reportedly preparing a bid for the player.

Manager Mikel Arteta is looking to strengthen his team's attack, and a move for Barcola could be part of a larger effort to improve the squad.

Arsenal are also rumored to be interested in Aston Villa playmaker Morgan Rogers, who is also playing at the World Cup.

It's worth noting that Barcola was left out of the starting lineup for PSG's Champions League final, which may have contributed to his frustration with the team.

While it's unclear what the future holds for Barcola, it's clear that Arsenal are exploring their options and looking to make a move.
