Luis Enrique set a deadline for the finalisation of the arrivals of Lucas Chevalier and Illya Zabarnyi, stressing the urgency of strengthening the PSG team after a relatively calm summer mercato. The agreement for the transfer of Chevalier du LOSC, estimated at 55 million euros including bonuses, is imminent, with the player expected in Paris within 24 hours for a medical visit before signing a five-year contract. At the same time, negotiations for the arrival of Illya Zabarnyi from Bournemouth are moving towards a €68 million agreement, although details on the bonus structure remain to be settled. These two recruits are a priority for Luis Enrique, who wants to integrate them quickly in order to maintain the high pace of competition and strengthen the offensive profile of the team.

PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi insisted on the club’s ambition to consolidate its position as a leader in Europe after its victory in the Champions League. He stressed the importance of collective unity and an offensive game to achieve this objective, recalling the fundamental values that Luis Enrique seeks to achieve. This ambitious message comes as the Supercoupe d’Europe approaches against Tottenham, an unprecedented first trophy for the club, and reflects Paris’ willingness to continue making history.

The recognition of the collective talent of the PSG extends beyond the field, with a record of nine players named for the Ballon d’Or 2025. This historic performance rewards an exceptional season, marked by victory in the Champions League, the national triple and a dynamic of victories. The team, shaped by Luis Enrique, is now perceived as a dominant force in Europe, and the whole world is preparing for the Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris, where the club could celebrate the consecration of its players.
