Arsenal and Liverpool target Bradley Barcola has asked to leave Paris Saint-Germain, talkSPORT understands.

Barcola featured frequently for the European champions last season, making 21 league starts, while also playing in 16 matches in the Champions League.

However, the France international was dropped for the Champions League final triumph over Arsenal last month.

Head coach Luis Enrique opted for a forward trio of Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia in Hungary.

The £60million-rated 23-year-old did at least come off the bench in second-half stoppage time at the Puskas Arena.

Barcola, though, is now keen to leave the Parc des Princes, where he still has two years left on his contract.

And talkSPORT understands that he is on the radar of Premier League powerhouses Arsenal and Liverpool.

The Gunners are expected to strengthen their left side this summer and have been linked with moves for Aston Villa forward Morgan Rogers and Club Brugge winger Christos Tzolis.

The Premier League champions are also keeping tabs on Barcola as they consider their left-wing options.

Liverpool, meanwhile, are expected to bolster their attack in the off-season following Andoni Iraola's appointment earlier this month.

Mohamed Salah has been released by the Merseyside giants, while Cody Gakpo struggled to perform on the opposite flank last season.

RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande has also been linked with a move to Anfield and will hope to maintain his impressive rise to superstardom with the Ivory Coast at the 2026 World Cup.

World Cup commitments

Barcola's future may not be decided in the coming weeks though, as he is with France at the World Cup in North America.

He is part of Les Blues' star-studded squad, but didn't start either of their pre-tournament friendlies.

Marcus Thuram started on the left in their 2-1 loss to Ivory Coast, while PSG teammate Doue was given the nod on the frontline for the 3-1 win over Northern Ireland.

France will get their World Cup campaign underway against Senegal on Tuesday, 16 June.

Didier Deschamps' men then face Iraq and Norway as France look to go the distance for the third time in their history.
