What transfer moves are being considered?
Despite the good results, the Parisian club remains active in the transfer market. According to information from www.fubo.tv, Paris Saint-Germain is showing interest in two major players this summer. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the Georgian winger from Napoli, and Florian Wirtz, the German attacking midfielder from Bayer Leverkusen, are on the radar. The reported fees for these two talents would be substantial. These targets show the club's desire to continue strengthening its quality squad. Currently, midfielder João Neves is sidelined, an absence that may be influencing the club's thinking.
How was the current squad built?
Paris Saint-Germain's current strength is the result of a major overhaul in the summer of 2023. The record sale of Neymar to Al Hilal for €222 million funded a wave of arrivals. The club invested heavily in attack with Randal Kolo Muani (€95m), Ousmane Dembélé (€50m), and Gonçalo Ramos (€80m). The midfield was bolstered by Manuel Ugarte (€60m) and Kang-in Lee (€22m), while the defense welcomed Lucas Hernández (€45m). Free arrivals like Milan Skriniar and Marco Asensio completed the picture. This squad, which you can find on our squad page, is now well-established.
Paris Saint-Germain's next challenge is the home match against OGC Nice at the Parc des Princes. The objective will be to continue this positive run and maintain top spot in the league before possible late transfer activity. The performance at Lille demonstrated the squad's solidity, but its depth remains a key asset for the long season ahead.
