Bayern Munich’s interest in PSG's Bradley Barcola had started quietly, but it picked up pace in recent weeks as the German club intensified its search for a left-winger. With targets slipping through, the 22-year-old French talent shot to the top of their list.

Barcola has been linked with a move to Bayern Munich in recent weeks, whom PSG face in the Club World Cup quarter-finals, as the German side aim to sign a left-winger. Luis Enrique has dismissed claims the Frenchman may move, though, claiming there is "no doubt" he will stay in Paris.

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique is set to face off with Bayern Munich today in the Club World Cup, but the matchup between the two power clubs also represents the first meeting since the Bavarians allegedly attempted to lure PSG winger Bradley Barcola away from France.
