Paris Saint-Germain is busy in the transfer market, with a clear roadmap: a maximum of three new signings are expected before the transfer window closes, according to L’Équipe. The future of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma (26) remains central to this equation, while Bournemouth defender Illia Zabarnyi (22) is the top target.
“Gianluigi Donnarumma’s future will determine a lot of things.”
“A maximum of three new signings are expected before the transfer window closes, according to sources close to the club. Gianluigi Donnarumma’s future will have a major impact on many things, and the outlook for an extension for the Italian goalkeeper, who will be a free agent in a year’s time, does not look very positive. The question of his possible departure—and, by extension, the recruitment of a new goalkeeper—will inevitably arise if the situation remains unchanged. To explain his lack of enthusiasm, the club is reportedly citing his vacation as another reason.
“It seems certain that the first major signing of the summer will be Bournemouth’s Ukrainian defender Illia Zabarnyi.”
It seems certain that the first major signing of the summer will be Bournemouth’s Ukrainian defender Illia Zabarnyi (22, under contract until 2029). The gap between PSG’s offer and the English club’s demands is said to be small. A positive outcome is still hoped for. For now, signing a midfielder does not appear to be a priority. In this area of the game, PSG intends to give Senny Mayulu room to express himself.
“The future of Kang-in Lee is uncertain.”
Up front, Kang-in Lee’s future is uncertain, although PSG is not particularly keen to sell him. The situation of Gonçalo Ramos, who was offered (without success) to AC Milan in particular, will also need to be monitored.
For Skiriniar and Asensio, the future seems to be shaping up at Fenerbahçe. Discussions are underway between PSG and the Istanbul club for a permanent transfer. Mukiele and Soler, meanwhile, are waiting in the wings, keeping an eye on the market.
Paris Saint-Germain is approaching the 2025 summer transfer window with a resolutely calm, minimalist, and carefully considered strategy, breaking with the tradition of major summer overhauls. This nuanced approach stems primarily from the exceptional success of the previous season: with a squad that dominated both the Champions League and domestic competitions, the capital club has no need to shake things up.
The club’s management, in close consultation with Luis Enrique, is focusing on targeted adjustments rather than a major overhaul: only three new signings are planned, notably to strengthen the central defense and find rotation options on the defensive wings, with the arrival of promising young players such as Renato Marin (21) already confirmed for this position.
This decision to take a measured approach to the transfer market is also explained by the timing: with the season having just ended, the squad is still enjoying a well-deserved break, a factor that contributes to the slow pace of negotiations and the absence of media hype.
The Parisian management is in no hurry: they know that with such a solid foundation, there is no sense of urgency and every decision is part of a carefully thought-out plan. This also reflects a strong conviction: it is difficult today to find players capable of adding value to such a competitive and homogeneous squad.
With this calm approach, PSG is sending a reassuring message on the eve of a new season: prioritizing internal stability, promoting the development of its young talents (Senny Mayulu, 19), and intelligently strengthening its lines without giving in to the impulse to change for change’s sake. This strategic choice is dictated as much by confidence in the squad as by the conviction that in soccer—and especially after a victorious campaign—balance remains the key to success at the highest level.
