The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is about to perform a major purge of its staff during the last days of the summer mercato, with the aim of disposing of at least six players. Among the names mentioned are Preลnel Kimpembe, a central defender trained at the club and whose departure is possible, especially to Qatar where a return is possible. The club is also willing to accept reduced offers to accelerate the sale of Gianluigi Donnarumma, the Italian goaltender, who refused to extend his contract and whose departure to Manchester City is imminent. Other players like Donnarumma, Tenas, Asensiio, Soler, Randal Kolo Muani and Kang-in Lee are also likely to leave the club.
The situation in Kang-in Lee is a source of serious concern in South Korea, where the media and supporters express dissatisfaction with the PSG’s refusal to offer him more play time. Despite his status as a replacement, the 24-year-old winger is eager to find a seat in order to maximize his chances of being selected for the 2026 World Cup. This situation is seen as a lack of opportunities, particularly worrying as the prestigious international tournament approaches. Criticism is strong, with questions about the well-being of the player and the fairness of his contractual situation.
In parallel, the PSG is actively negotiating the exit of Donnarumma, having revised its requirements downwards to facilitate a transfer to Manchester City. Although the club initially claimed EUR 50 million, it would now be ready to accept an offer of between EUR 30 million and EUR 35 million. This decision is based on the guardian’s refusal to extend and the willingness to release financial resources. The success of this transfer will depend on Manchester City’s ability to respond to this new proposal, particularly in the context of Ederson’s potential departure to Turkey.
