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 events of the last 24 hours (published early this evening) to see what is happening—or not—and what is progressing or surprising. Today, the focus is on…
It’s official:
- Renato Marin to CD Nacional:
The goalkeeper, who turns 20 on July 10, has just spent a season as PSG’s third-choice keeper following his move from AS Roma; he has logically left the club to gain more playing time. After making three appearances, Marin has joined CD Nacional—who finished 14th in the Portuguese league last season—on a loan deal with no option to buy.
- Aymen Assab to AS Monaco:
Aymen Assab, a 17-year-old midfielder developed at PSG, was among the young players reaching the end of their youth contracts. This Monday, AS Monaco announced the arrival of the PSG academy product, who has signed his first professional contract. He was a key player for the U19 squad this season.
Transfers potentially nearing completion:
- Lee Kang-In to Atlético Madrid:
Lee Kang-In, a 25-year-old South Korean midfielder/forward, has been tipped to leave PSG since the transfer window opened, with Atlético Madrid showing interest since last winter. Several media outlets and journalists have reported in the last few hours that his move to the Spanish club is now a done deal. The fee is expected to be around €40 million, including bonuses.
- Maghnes Akliouche to PSG:
The 24-year-old AS Monaco and France attacking midfielder/winger is being touted as Lee’s replacement at PSG, with the Parisian club reportedly making progress on a deal valued at around €50 million. Akliouche is said to be ready to sign for Paris. Potential transfers:
Yan Diomande to PSG.
A move for the 19-year-old RB Leipzig and Ivory Coast forward is not yet imminent, largely due to a reported price tag of around €100 million and his club’s announcement last week that their goal is to keep him. However, the possibility of negotiations remains, and an associate has confirmed his desire to sign with Paris.
Rumored targets:
No new developments in this regard.
