During the 2023 summer transfer window, PSG did not hesitate to bet very big to recruit Bradley Barcola with a transfer worth €50M from OL. But live on the microphone of RMC Sport, Daniel Riolo criticized this amount which he considers exorbitant, and which just served to put too much pressure on Barcola’s shoulders according to him.
Strongly desired by Luis Enrique who believed a lot in his potential, Bradley Barcola had therefore landed at PSG in 2023 for €50M when he only had a few months professionally with theOL in the legs. A bet far too risky in the eyes of Daniel Riolowho let loose live in theAfter Foot on RMC Sport about the case Stagger at PSG.
“I’m fighting against this”
« What annoys me is the exaggeration and the media narration with stories that we want to create like that of Barcola who should ultimately be the replacement for (Kylian) Mbappé. Since day one, I’ve been fighting against this. He arrived at PSG for a very significant price. 50 million euros? It’s huge for a player who had six months in Ligue 1 », lance Riolowho therefore believes that the price of the transfer and the big media coverage have harmed the cause of Stagger au PSG.
“Such a big transfer is risky”
« We immediately made him a great player because he arrived at PSG. It’s risky to be the subject of a big transfer and to only have six months of Ligue 1 under your belt before arriving at PSG. Because you know that you are going to change media context and that we are going to pay attention », continues Riolo. This is clear.
