Transfer window – PSG’s winter plan revealed and explained

The 2025/2026 winter transfer window runs from Thursday, January 1st to Monday, February 2nd (until 8pm) in France, and as usual, rumors surrounding Paris Saint-Germain are piling up. This time, RMC Sport reports this Friday on what PSG plans to do in terms of arrivals and departures, with the Champions League schedule having a certain influence.

"Except for a huge surprise, the capital club, which won the Intercontinental Cup this week, is not expected to be particularly active in January. Firstly, because Luis Enrique has confidence in his current squad, made up of both experienced players and young talents with high potential (Ibrahim Mbaye, Quentin Ndjantou…), in whom the Spanish coach has great faith. Another major factor must be considered: for clubs involved in the Champions League, the current format of the competition complicates many things regarding this transfer window. In France, the transfer market, which will begin on Thursday, January 1st, will close on Monday, February 2nd at 8pm. The problem is, the last matchday of the Champions League league phase is scheduled for… January 28th. Negotiations with teams playing in Europe can only begin after the league phase, so in the very final moments of the winter transfer window. Does this include departures as well? That’s the trend, even if nothing is set in stone."

These are very credible statements, as they make perfect sense. In fact, it’s mostly a reminder of some fairly simple things to keep in mind. The media continue to suggest possible signings or departures, as it’s always an exciting prospect—especially for certain supporters.

However, PSG has repeated several times that it does not have any particular needs. The club will be attentive to opportunities, as always. They shouldn’t close the door if something interesting comes up. For now, the mood is calm and cautious. That won’t stop a few more or less random rumors from popping up, as happens during every transfer window.
