According to Goal.com, Paris Saint-Germain winger Barcola has decided not to renew his contract, but he may not necessarily leave this summer, as he still has two years left on his current contract.

The 23-year-old Barcola had previously decided to wait until after the World Cup to make a final decision about his future.

After several months of consideration, he ultimately decided to cease negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain for a contract renewal; his original contract expires in 2028.

According to French newspaper L'Équipe, he made this decision for sporting reasons, despite Paris Saint-Germain's offer including a substantial salary increase.

Barcola feels like a twelfth man, often appearing on the wing, and he no longer wants to play this role, especially after being benched twice in the Champions League final.

But does Barcola's decision necessarily mean he will leave this summer? The next few weeks will provide the answer. Liverpool, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea are all interested in him, but the London teams are not among his preferred options.

The French player also understands that his future depends on the trends in the European winger market. In particular, Real Madrid's pursuit of Leipzig winger Jan Diomande has already changed the market situation, and Diomande is Paris Saint-Germain's primary target.

Paris Saint-Germain reached a contract agreement with Diomande several weeks ago, making the competition for the Ivorian player one of the key factors in determining whether Barcola leaves Paris this summer or stays with the team.
