Even though Chelsea had to pay \u00a3117m for Morgan Rogers, supporters are still very happy with the attacking midfielder\u2019s arrival.<\/strong><\/p>\n

However, many in the Chelsea fan base probably would have preferred Paris Saint-Germain\u2019s Bradley Barcola.<\/p>\n

\n

The Blues have actually been linked with the winger, but a move is now highly unlikely.<\/p>\n

Kai Havertz, Noni Madueke and now Pedro Neto! Why do our Premier League rivals always want to sign players not rated by the fan base? What aren\u2019t we seeing? \ud83d\ude35\u200d\ud83d\udcab<\/h3>\n

Enzo Maresca is reportedly eyeing a reunion with Neto at Man City<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

According to L\u2019Equipe, Chelsea have expressed interest in Barcola but the 23-year-old does not consider them a viable option.<\/p>\n

That is likely to be because of their lack of Champions League football. Whatever the case, how do the Frenchman and Rogers compare?<\/p>\n

Well, interestingly, despite playing fewer league games and minutes, Barcola was still able to outscore Rogers. In 29 matches, Barcola scored 11 goals, while Rogers netted 10 times in 37 outings.<\/p>\n

However, the PSG star did not register as many assists, recording just one. Rogers finished the 2025\/26 campaign with six.<\/p>\n

Delving into their stats a bit more, their averages for key passes were exactly the same. According to WhoScored, both players made 1.3 key passes per game.<\/p>\n

Their averages for dribbles per game were almost identical as well. Barcola completed 1.2 on average, while Rogers\u2019 number was 1.1.<\/p>\n

What are you thoughts on Bradley Barcola reportedly snubbing Chelsea?<\/h3>\n

Here’s how he compares to new signing Morgan Rogers!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Barcola was not as efficient as he was in the 2024\/25 Ligue 1 season when the France international recorded 24 goal contributions in 34 appearances. However, he is still one of the best young attackers in the world.<\/p>\n

Their numbers are quite similar, but Barcola is seen as having the much higher ceiling.<\/p>\n

All in all, Barcola does appear to be available, but Chelsea are not in the running to sign the former Lyon man after a disastrous season. <\/p>\n

In Rogers, though, they still have a very good attacker who can make an impact on the left-hand side. Whether the England star is worth \u00a3117m is another matter, but he should improve this Chelsea team.<\/p>\n
