Here is the latest installment in the saga: a roundup of the latest news regarding Paris Saint-Germain’s transfer market activity. We take a look at the last 24 hours (this update was published early in the evening) to see what is happening—or not—and what is progressing or causing a surprise. Today, the focus is on Lee Kang-In, Yan Diomande, and Randal Kolo Muani.
It’s official:
- Lee Kang-In to Atlético Madrid.
After several days of waiting—even though everything seemed wrapped up—Lee Kang-In’s departure from PSG to sign with Atlético Madrid has been made official. The 25-year-old midfielder/forward, who arrived from Mallorca in 2023 for €22 million, has been transferred for around €40 million (including bonuses), according to several media outlets. He is leaving in hopes of securing a starting spot with the Spanish team. We are waiting to find out who will replace him in Paris, although Maghnes Akliouche (24, AS Monaco and the French national team) has been mentioned.
- Transfers potentially close to completion:
Yan Diomande likely heading to Real Madrid.
The case of the 19-year-old RB Leipzig and Ivory Coast winger serves as a reminder—if one were needed—that one must always be cautious during the transfer window until a deal is actually signed. He was reported to be close to joining PSG, but an agreement with Leipzig never materialized, and he is now heading toward Real Madrid. The Spanish club reportedly has the player’s green light and is willing to pay the fee of over €100 million demanded by the German club. Many journalists agree: this transfer looks well on track.
Possible transfers:
- Randal Kolo Muani to Juventus—finally?
Episode 457 (approximately) of the Randal Kolo Muani (27-year-old forward) saga. According to Tuttosport, this time it looks promising: Juventus is nearing an agreement with PSG for around €40 million, though the specific terms remain unknown. Of course, one must remain cautious regarding this saga. A transfer is certainly plausible, but yet another step backward would come as no surprise.
Just rumors:
- Is PSG ready to get involved in the Rodri situation?
The 30-year-old Spanish midfielder—whose contract with Manchester City runs until 2027—has recently been the subject of much speculation. While talk has primarily centered on a potential move to Real Madrid or staying at the English club for another season, RMC Sport reported on Saturday that PSG has made inquiries. There is no talk of an offer yet, but rather an interest in this “opportunity.”
