Here is the latest installment in the saga: a roundup of the latest news regarding Paris Saint-Germain’s transfer market activity. We look back at the last 24 hours (this report was published early in the evening) to cover what is happening—or not—and what is progressing or surprising. Today’s topics include Naoufel El Hannach, Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, Zion Suzuki, and Rodri.
It’s official:
Nothing.
Transfers potentially close to completion:
- Naoufel El Hannach heading for another loan.
The 19-year-old defender has just returned from a loan spell at Montpellier; according to L’Équipe, he impressed the Ligue 2 club enough to be heading back out on loan within the next few hours. Notably, his contract runs until 2027, so the situation will need to be reassessed soon.
Possible transfers:
- Ousmane Dembélé expected to extend his stay at PSG.
According to several media outlets, the 29-year-old PSG forward is on track for a new contract, even though he is currently tied to the club until 2028. Nothing has been signed yet, and the duration of the new deal has not been specified.
- Bradley Barcola targeted by Liverpool, but not leaving yet.
A more troublesome situation in recent days than the Dembélé saga, the 23-year-old forward has refused to extend his contract with PSG. A transfer this summer—with two years remaining on his deal—is therefore a possibility. Liverpool is being touted as the frontrunner for his signature, with talk of an agreement in principle already in place with the player. However, nothing is finalized yet, and negotiations could prove complicated, as Paris has reportedly set an asking price of €170 million.
Potential targets:
- Zion Suzuki linked to PSG again.
The 23-year-old Parma and Japan goalkeeper is a somewhat surprising target, raising the possibility that Lucas Chevalier (24) could be pushed towards the exit. However, other media outlets have dismissed this notion. The situation remains somewhat unclear, though the transfer market is known for surprises.
- Rodri to PSG is off the table.
The 30-year-old Manchester City and Spain midfielder is primarily weighing a contract extension against a move to Real Madrid, although PSG had also been linked to the deal—an interest subsequently denied by Le Parisien and The Athletic.
