Ismaël Gharbi, a 21-year-old midfielder, is preparing for a new club change by joining Augsburg in the Bundesliga. After a career beginning marked by several experiences, notably at PSG, Lausanne and Braga where he achieved a notable season with 37 matches and 4 goals, Gharbi privileged the German offer despite the interest of Italian and Belgian clubs. The transaction should take the form of a loan with a purchase option of 5 million euros, excluding bonuses. This new stage represents an important development in the player’s career, which seeks to establish itself in a high-level championship.
The title-winning Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) unveiled its calendar for the next phase of the Champions League. The Parisians will face a demanding course, including matches against Bayern Munich, Atalanta Bergame, Tottenham, Newcastle, FC Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen, Sporting Portugal and Athletic Bilbao. UEFA has made the calendar of each meeting public, marking the beginning of a new competition for Luis Enrique’s club.
The qualification of the PSG, Olympique de Marseille (OM) and AS Monaco for the Champions League phase ensures significant revenues. Each qualified club receives a basic premium of 18.62 million euros, with additional funding depending on the participation of national broadcasters and the UEFA ranking. The PSG is estimated to earn EUR 63 million, while OM and AS Monaco are expected to receive EUR 44.8 million and EUR 40.5 million respectively. Additional bonuses are also provided based on the results and rankings in the league phase, which may increase the total winnings for the 2025-2026 season.
