Barcola is said to be pushing to leave

amid the club's pursuit of Yan Diomande, who will cost around €100m.

But

are standing firm.

Having initially ruled out any sale of Barcola, it is now being reported that the French giants could be tempted into selling for the right price.

The Athletic report that Barcola appears reluctant to sign a new deal as he looks to start more games next season.

But fresh reports now suggest that figures in excess of the £116m Manchester City paid for Elliot Anderson may be considered.

It comes following report by BBC Sport that

have received encouragement that a deal could be possible.

The same report adds that the Gunners planned to scout Barcola during France’s 3-0 win over Sweden, in which the winger scored Les Blues’ second goal.

And former Chelsea star Florent Malouda believes Barcola is ready-made for the Premier League ahead of a potential transfer tussle between

and

Liverpool

"When you look at

’s story, first of all, he's coming from the Lyon Academy," Malouda told

BOYLE Sports

"He made the right choices. When he left, it was not easy for him. He left and he won two Champions Leagues in the best team in French football history.

"Of course, it's challenging when you're competing with Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue to start, but he showed every time he came on that he has the same level, maybe not as consistent, but he has the potential.

"Choosing his next destination is about whether he is ready to take a leadership role, because that's what will be expected from him. You just won the Champions League, any club buying you will expect you to lead them to winning these kinds of trophies. This is where he will be challenged.

"He could fit in any Premier League team. He's a very talented young player."

PSG’s reported stance is that Barcola is not for sale.
