PSG: Major transfers and major departures for the summer

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) experienced an active transfer period, marked by the departure of several key players. One of the most notable movements is that of Carlos Soler, who officially joined Real Sociedad for an amount of 8 million euros, with a 50% clause on the possible added value. This transfer comes after a refusal by the player to enter into a loan with Real Sociedad, preferring a definitive solution. At the same time, the club confirmed Marco Asensi’s final departure, who joined the Fenerbahçe, a Turkish club, for an undisclosed sum. Asensi, who arrived in Paris in 2023, played 47 games with the PSG before finding a new challenge.

In parallel with these transfers, the PSG has been concerned about the situation of its players in the national selection. Despite an injury in a match against Toulouse, Ousmane Dembélé was selected with the French team. The club and the medical staff closely followed his recovery, ensuring that he could participate in the rally while respecting a program adapted to his injury to the left ischio-jamber. This underscores the importance for the PSG to reconcile the club’s requirements with players’ obligations to their national selection.

Finally, the PSG also had a moving farewell with Gianluigi Donnarumma, whose departure for Manchester City was formalized. After four seasons at PSG, where he was a reliable and decisive goalkeeper, Donnarumma signed a five-year contract with the English club for a sum of 35 million euros. His departure marked the end of an era for the Parisian club, but left behind a legacy of memorable moments and significant contributions to the victory in the Champions League. The PSG continues its strategy of renewing its workforce, with the arrival of Lucas Chevalier as a new goaltender.
