The 2025 summer transfer window is now open until September 1 at 8 p.m. in France, and rumors surrounding Paris Saint-Germain continue to pile up. This time, L’Équipe takes a look at PSG’s transfer market, covering the futures of Gonçalo Ramos (24-year-old striker) and Lee Kang-In (24-year-old midfielder/forward), as well as the players expected to leave. Potential further signings are also mentioned (following Renato Marin, Lucas Chevalier, and Ilya Zabarnyi).
“A left-footed winger and preferably a right-back.”
“In the case of a good offer, the club might have considered it, but it continues to insist it is not a seller — and Ramos virtually put an end to the uncertainty on Wednesday night in Udine. ‘Yes, I’m staying,’ he said with a smile.
Since the start of the transfer window, sporting advisor Luis Campos has repeatedly told Lee that he is part of the club’s plans and that a departure is not on the table. Market insiders, however, hint at a slightly different tune if a satisfactory offer were to arrive. The South Korean, naturally, wants more playing time.
During the final two weeks of the window, Paris will first need to focus on sales. Seven players are targeted for departure: Nordi Mukiele, Carlos Soler, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Randal Kolo Muani, Renato Sanches, Marco Asensio, and Ilyes Housni. All now have concrete interest from other clubs. PSG is also not ruling out recruiting a fourth or even a fifth player if the opportunity arises — preferably a left-footed winger and a right-back.”
Lee and Ramos have been the most-discussed potential departures this summer outside of the obvious unwanted players. Yet there has never been any confirmation, and each has spoken positively about their place in the squad. The Portuguese striker was particularly clear on the matter. Both also put in strong performances against Tottenham in the UEFA Super Cup on Wednesday.
It’s hard, therefore, to see them as real transfer candidates. The media, in turn, shift their stance without taking much risk — while leaving the door open to the famous “interesting offer,” which, without further detail, can mean almost anything.
The same goes for the possible incoming transfers mentioned. PSG is “not ruling them out”… fine, but are they actually planning for them? Is there a concrete strategy to strengthen the squad, or would it only happen if the right opportunity arises? Or would it be to replace an outgoing player? Even the targeted positions aren’t entirely certain. In short, things remain vague. Hopefully, there will be more concrete news soon — though as we know, the transfer market often delivers surprises, and a club must adapt.
