Transfers – €35m, Suzuki close to PSG before moving on

Zion Suzuki, the 23-year-old goalkeeper for Japan and Parma (under contract until 2029), was recently reported to be close to Paris Saint-Germain, with a possible immediate loan move to Juventus Turin. Tuttosport provided an update this Thursday, confirming that the deal is close to being finalized and raising the idea of the Japanese player staying there afterward.

“A standard loan, with the aim of a permanent transfer in a year.”

Zion Suzuki: PSG hopes to finalize the transfer of the Japanese player between today and tomorrow for a fee of around €35 million. A transfer that seemed unthinkable in June, but has become reality in August. Juventus cannot make an offer, but they are absolutely determined to sign the Parma player. It is Spalletti’s wish: the coach is optimistic and convinced he can raise his team’s level this season, starting with the match against Frosinone. The club is aware that it will have to make concessions at this stage of the transfer window: in order to strengthen the squad in other positions, it is ready to “rent” Suzuki from PSG. A standard loan, with the aim of a permanent transfer in a year. Massara had hoped to wrap up the deal by Sunday, but it could take a few more days.

The Italian press continues to get carried away over this case without anything concrete, so we remain very cautious. Suzuki has not yet signed for PSG, and nothing allows us to be sure that it will happen, or that he is already being sent on loan to Juventus. The newspaper even adds the possibility of him staying there permanently afterward. That would mean Paris simply signed the goalkeeper in order to loan him to Juventus during a period of financial weakness, before selling him. A scenario that would be rather surprising. Especially after more than a year of negotiations for Randal Kolo Muani.

We have to be careful, as the media often go in all directions as long as uncertainty remains. Especially in Italy, where scenarios multiply quickly. Let’s wait for a clearer picture. If PSG really does spend more than €30 million on the Japanese goalkeeper, it will be with a solid plan. Likewise, the goalkeeper would probably sign with the hope of playing there at some point. That could even be this season, although the media are gradually ruling out that idea.
