Transfer market – PSG keen not to waste time over Suzuki | OneFootball

Zion Suzuki, a 23-year-old goalkeeper from Japan who plays for Parma (under contract until 2029), has been reported as a target for Paris Saint-Germain for the 2026 transfer window. Journalist Fabrizio Romano stated on Monday morning that PSG are even determined to wrap up the transfer quickly, having already moved ahead of the competition.

“Negotiations are continuing this week”

This journalist is generally reliable, and the offer made yesterday by PSG was confirmed by others, including Italian transfer specialist Gianluca Di Marzio. There is every reason to believe that the Parisian club has indeed made its move for Suzuki, even if some uncertainty remains around this possible signing.

Not about PSG’s ability to make an attractive offer to Parma, nor about having a project appealing enough for the Japanese international. Rather, it is about the role he would have within the squad. Coach Luis Enrique likes to create real competition in every position, but having three established goalkeepers seems a bit too much.

There will no doubt be a departure, the question is who. Some have mentioned a loan move for Suzuki in his first season at PSG, others a loan or permanent departure for Lucas Chevalier (24). We also cannot rule out Matvey Safonov (27), possibly disappointed to see the Japanese keeper take over the number one role, considering other options. Everything seems open.

In any case, if PSG are pushing hard for Suzuki this summer, it is because they fully believe in him. That is already a negative message for Chevalier, who was signed last year. Let’s wait and see, as things could become clearer fairly quickly. Paris seem eager to wrap up their transfer business now that the World Cup players’ holidays are coming to an end.
