Ligue 1 predicted XIs after deadline day, how 18 clubs now look | OneFootball

France’s window shut on Tuesday night after two and a half months, clarifying likely starting XIs across Ligue 1 for 2025-26, though some outbound deals remain possible.

According to L'Équipe, with Türkiye and Saudi Arabia still open for days or weeks, the Saudi market closes on 12 October, squads range from overhauls to near-unchanged.

Strasbourg kept only Ismaël Doukouré, Samir El-Mourabet, Martial Godo and Gessime Yassine from last season, adding players from Chelsea plus Oso, Giovanni Reyna and Jacobo Ortega, with Joaquin Panichelli’s return date unclear.

At the other end, Brest have tweaked only two roles, Norwegian keeper Egil Selvik for Grégoire Coudert and Giovani Versini arriving late to cover Romain Del Castillo’s exit.

Marseille made no signings amid financial strain, with Geronimo Rulli, Leonardo Balerdi, Facundo Medina and Mason Greenwood departing, while Amine Harit and Angel Gomes return. Lille’s lucrative sales funded attacking reinforcements. Lens remodelled midfield with Michaël Cuisance and Yacine Titraoui, and PSG keep the same XI, depth strengthened by Ferran Torres, Maghnes Akliouche, Mika Godts and Lucas Digne.

Le Havre reset with arrivals including Josh Maja, Ahmed Touba, Elias Jelert and Sota Nakamura, plus returns for Timothée Pembélé, Amir Richardson and Junior Mwanga. Angers retained eight starters and added Amine El-Ouazzani, Anthony Lopes and Joseph Kalulu. Toulouse have turned over half their XI. Promoted Le Mans chose experience, and Troyes tapped City Football Group links.
