The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) resumed training this Wednesday, marking the beginning of a period of potential changes in the workforce. Although the Parisian mercato appears to be calm on the surface, several departures are in preparation, motivated by the management’s desire to get rid of players deemed too expensive. Milan Skriniar has already left the club to join the Fenerbahçe, while Gabriel Moscardo has been loaned to Braga, having not yet obtained significant play time. The most important cases concern Randal Kolo Muani, courted by Juventus, Newcastle, Manchester United and Tottenham, and Marco Asensio, who could join Aston Villa. Other players like Carlos Soler, Nordi Mukiele, Ilyes Housni and Renato Sanches are also likely to leave, as are Presnel Kimpembe and goaltender Arnaud Tena. The future of Gianluigi Donnarumma and Matvey Safonov is uncertain, and additional departures are possible by September, despite a still discreet start of mercato.

After a well-deserved rest period following the victory in the Champions League and the World Cup final, PSG players took over the field this Wednesday at PSG Campus for their first training of the season. Luis Enrique’s team must quickly focus on the competition, with an important match against Tottenham in the European Supercup in a week. The club faces difficulties in finalizing two major transfers, despite contractual agreements with Illia Zabarnyi and Lucas Chevalier. Negotiations with Bournemouth and Lille are complex, with persistent disagreements over the amounts requested and proposed.

Concerning Illia Zabarnyi, the PSG has offered 60 million euros without bonuses, but Bournemouth is demanding an additional 3 million. Tottenham and Newcastle are monitoring the situation, ready to intervene if negotiations fail. For Lucas Chevalier, the PSG has offered 40 million euros including bonuses, while Lille demands the same amount off bonus and wishes to have its replacement before releasing its goalkeeper. Although discussions are progressing slowly, agreement remains possible, but will require further efforts by the MTP to unblock the situation. These two transfers are crucial to strengthening the team and meeting management expectations.
