This is the next installment of the saga: a summary of the latest news regarding the Paris Saint-Germain transfer window. This includes a look at the last 24 hours (published early this evening) to cover what’s happening, what’s not, what’s progressing, and what’s surprising. Today, we’re talking about Presnel Kimpembe, Carlos Soler, Lee Kang-In, Arnau Tenas, and Rayan.
It’s official:
No official news since yesterday.
Transfers possibly finalized soon:
No news in this regard.
Possible transfers:
- Carlos Soler to Villarreal!
The 28-year-old attacking midfielder has returned from a loan spell at West Ham and is looking for a way out, while there are no more spots at PSG. Villarreal has been mentioned several times in recent weeks, and Mundo Deportivo now lists him as a priority for coach Marcelino.
It makes sense that Soler would want to return to La Liga, where he shone at Valencia with Marcelino on the bench. There’s also the possibility of playing in the Champions League. As for the Spanish club, it’s an opportunity to sign a talented and experienced player for a likely “lower” cost.
Transfer probability: 7/10
- .Arnau Tenas to Celta Vigo!
The 24-year-old goalkeeper signed with FC Barcelona to make his professional debut, but he has very little room in Paris. According to several Spanish media outlets, he is being targeted by Celta Vigo. A return to Spain with the Europa League to play for could be tempting for him. While the club would likely be taking a cheap gamble with a goalkeeper who has some potential, this is only the beginning of a rumor, and Girona is also being discussed.
Probability of transfer: 6/10.
Possible options:
Kimpembe on the way out! The 29-year-old defender’s contract is up next year, and according to Le Parisien, PSG would like to find a way out for their Titi. He has a strong connection to Paris, but no real room to play. Meetings are reportedly planned.
Lee Kang-In on the way out? The 24-year-old midfielder/forward has been tipped for the exit several times, and a new rumor surfaced this Tuesday in Marca, suggesting he’s keen to leave. Coach Luis Enrique is reportedly against it. It’s hard to see clearly. Is the Korean player genuinely keen to leave, or is this a hypothesis based on the perceptions of observers?
Rayan, the new Brazilian talent rumored to be at PSG: The 19-year-old Vasco da Gama striker, with a €15 million release clause, is reportedly in Paris’s sights. Nothing definitive has been released yet; we’ve seen numerous rumors of this kind in recent years that have come to nothing. We’ll wait and see what happens.
