PSG have reached agreement with Lyon to sign prolific young French forward Bradley Barcola.
According to Fabrizio Romano, the French Ligue 1 giants have accepted payment terms amounting to €50m for Barcola. They will pay €45m as transfer fee with €5m as add-ons.
Barcola has reportedly agreed personal terms with PSG to join the club and is now ready for medical following the agreement between the two clubs.
Bradley Barcola was strongly linked with a move to Chelsea this summer as the London club continue raiding the transfer market for youngsters.
Chelsea identified Barcola as perfect attacking option that could spice up the attack for the Blues due to his versatility up front.
However, they had to settle for a bidding war with PSG who were fully in the race to sign the youngster. Chelsea attempted to overtake the Ligue 1 giants opening talks with Lyon for a deal amid interest by PSG but were turned down as Barcola only wanted a move to PSG.
The 20-year-old will join the list of PSG new big-name recruits this summer featuring the likes of Lee Kang-in, Marcos Asensio, and Ousmane Dembele.
