Transfer market – A Jorge Mendes option for PSG at left-back!

The 2026 summer transfer window is here, so rumors surrounding Paris Saint-Germain are piling up. This time, it is AS reporting interest in Jorge Salinas, the 19-year-old left-back from Racing Santander (under contract until 2029), champions of Spain’s second division. A player represented by Jorge Mendes, the famous agent who already has several clients at PSG.

An uncertain release clause

Racing Santander refers to Salinas’ release clause, but the matter is open to interpretation. The club values the clause at 16 million euros, arguing that Salinas is a player who, by the terms of his contract, has already joined the first team and that the club has already been promoted to La Liga. However, since the 2026/2027 season does not officially begin until July 1, Racing could still technically be considered a Segunda División side, which would bring the clause down to 8 million euros.

PSG among a long list of suitors.

Several clubs have contacted Racing Santander and his current agent, Jorge Mendes. Among them are FC Barcelona and Atlético de Madrid in Spain, Eintracht Frankfurt and Bayer Leverkusen in Germany, Bologna FC in Italy, Newcastle United in England, FC Porto in Portugal, and even PSG in France, who were present at the match against Real Valladolid at El Sardinero stadium. »

There is nothing impossible about it; Jorge Salinas is a young talent who can also play centrally (as he notably did with Spain’s U19s). An interesting future and versatility fit well with the project. One can imagine that moving from Spain’s second division to PSG would help him accept being a backup at first. And he may be tempted by this squad, with coach Luis Enrique, as part of an idea of development.

However, absolutely nothing is certain. Many leads are mentioned every year, and in the end very few actually materialize. Other clubs are also named, and there is uncertainty over the price. That leaves a great deal of vagueness in this case. Even if the fact that he is linked to agent Jorge Mendes could be interesting. For now, we will mainly wait in order to have some certainty.
