Arsenal will get a close look at Barcola when they face PSG in the final of the UEFA Champions League on May 30, live on TNT Sports and HBO Max.
According to Sky Germany, the Gunners are ”very keen" on the 23-year-old.
Barcola is under contract until 2028 but has not been a regular starter for PSG in the second half of the season.
Arsenal are not the only team interested in Barcola, with Liverpool and Barcelona also mentioned.
"No concrete offers have been received yet, and talks are in their early stages," says the report.
"However, one thing is clear - should a club meet PSG's financial expectations and impress Barcola on the pitch, a pivotal decision could be made this summer."
Bayern set sights on De Ketalaere
Bayern Munich are reportedly pushing to sign Atalanta’s Charles De Ketelaere.
De Ketelaere has scored five goals and provided seven assists in 39 appearances in all competitions this season.
Transfer expert Sacha Tavolieri reports that Bayern have shown ”concrete interest” in the Belgium international, who has already given the green light to complete the deal.
It is reported that talks between the clubs are scheduled for the coming weeks.
Bayern, beaten by PSG in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, have also been linked with a move for Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon.
Mourinho leads Madrid contenders
Jose Mourinho is reportedly top of a list of narrowing contenders to be the next Real Madrid head coach.
It has been a turbulent week in Madrid with a physical altercation between Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni leading to the former suffering a head injury that will see him miss the 'El Clasico' meeting with Barcelona.
Kylian Mbappe has also responded after a fan petition called for him to leave the club.
Marca reports that the current challenging climate tips the balance in favour of a tough character like Mourinho.
Other names mentioned include USA head coach Mauricio Pochettino and Argentina boss Lionel Scaloni.
Jurgen Klopp and Zinedine Zidane look unlikely to be in the mix.
Vlahovic to wait over future
Dusan Vlahovic will reportedly bide his time over signing a new Juventus contract to see if interest from Bayern Munich or Barcelona materialises.
The striker is out of contract this summer and is in talks with Juve over a new deal.
However, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport he is delaying a decision while waiting to see if other offers arrive.
Bayern, who could be looking for a back-up striker to Harry Kane, might be among the potential suitors, or Barcelona, who could be set to lose Robert Lewandowski this summer.
Vlahovic has just four goals in 16 Serie A appearances this season.
