Karl Toko-Ekambi has congratulated Bradley Barcola on his transfer to PSG, and the former Lyon player, originally from the Paris region, is taking the opportunity to settle some scores.
Karl Toko-Ekambi, the Cameroonian international originally from Paris, sent a powerful message by writing « Ici, c’est Paris » (translated as « This is Paris ») on social media to welcome Bradley Barcola to PSG.
This statement can be seen as a nod to Paris Saint-Germain and an allusion to the issues he faced at Lyon with certain fans and officials.
Karl Toko-Ekambi had been booed and insulted in January during a match against Strasbourg and had taken out his frustration on a trash can. He was subsequently loaned to Rennes and now plays for Abha Football Club in Saudi Arabia.
With this message, Toko-Ekambi not only welcomes Bradley Barcola to PSG but also subtly addresses the difficulties he faced during his time at Lyon. The « Ici, c’est Paris » phrase is often associated with PSG and signifies a strong sense of identity and loyalty to the PSG club.
