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.
