Barcola & Isak: Transfer Drama Unfolds…
Bradley Barcola is sticking with Paris Saint-Germain, even after Liverpool made two attempts to woo him. It’s like trying to woo a brick wall with love poems—PSG is not selling! Barcola’s passion for PSG ensures he’s not packing his bags for Anfield. With one approach this week and Luis Diaz moving to Bayern Munich, Liverpool’s appetite for another forward seems insatiable. Bayern also failed to bag Barcola before settling on Diaz, showing that PSG is playing hard to get in this transfer love triangle.
Meanwhile, Alexander Isak’s situation is like a soap opera without a script. Despite wanting to leave Newcastle like a magician disappearing in smoke, the Magpies won’t let him fly unless they snag two new strikers. Liverpool’s $146 million bid was turned down faster than a hot potato, falling short of the $200 million Newcastle seeks. Eddie Howe has benched Isak after his departure wish, sending him to train at his old club Real Sociedad. It’s as if Isak is on a fitness vacation, wondering if he’ll ever exit this Geordie hide-and-seek game.
