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 report 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 Lucas Digne, Bradley Barcola, Ferran Torres, and Hermann Malonga.
It’s official:
No official announcements.
Deals potentially close to be done:
- Medical examination reported for Lucas Digne.
Numerous media outlets reported on Monday that Lucas Digne—the Aston Villa and France national team left-back, who turned 33 today—was also scheduled to undergo a medical examination today ahead of a move to PSG. While not yet official, the transfer, valued at just under €10 million, appears imminent.
Possible transfers:
- A Liverpool offer for Bradley Barcola?
According to journalist Sébastien Vidal, Liverpool is ready to launch a bid of around €100 million for Bradley Barcola, the 23-year-old forward under contract with PSG until 2028. Even if such an offer exists, PSG’s response remains unknown and could well be negative, given that a contract extension is their priority. However, a departure cannot be ruled out either. We await further details.
- The battle for Ferran Torres
The 26-year-old Spanish and Barcelona forward was reported to be close to joining PSG a week ago, yet there has been no confirmation. Meanwhile, this Monday, Sport reports that Barça is ultimately prepared to fight to secure a contract extension for the player, who is currently tied to the Catalan club only until 2027. Here again, the situation remains open, with nothing concrete yet.
Rumored leads:
- Hermann Malonga unlikely to join Manchester City.
A few weeks ago, the 18-year-old defender—a PSG academy product—was reported to be on the verge of signing his first professional contract with Manchester City. This Monday, journalist Fabrizio Romano announced that the deal had “fallen through.” There is no explanation yet, nor a clear future for the Parisian youth product. Could he end up staying after all?
