PSG transfer window revealed: shock decision and target positions

The 2025 summer transfer market is now underway and will run until September 1st at 8pm in France, and rumors surrounding Paris Saint-Germain are piling up. This time, it's PSG Inside Actus that's providing an update on the Parisians' plans, including a strong choice for recruiting a striker and the priority positions this summer.

« Paris Saint-Germain, despite being recently crowned European champion, is still hesitant to recruit a true number 9 during the next transfer market. According to several sources, the club believes that the costs of strikers have dramatically increased, and that overpaying no longer makes sense. Since their Champions League title, PSG has been suffering from a "European champion tax". Luis Enrique, faithful to his discourse, has clearly indicated several times that if the quality-price ratio is not convincing, there will be no signing. What's changing this year is the hierarchy of sporting priorities. Internally, it's estimated that the number 9 position is not the most urgent. Other areas of the field need to be consolidated, notably: The defensive midfield, where PSG is looking for a powerful and enduring profile to stabilize the team. Two central defenders, capable of properly launching attacks, if possible one right-footed and one left-footed. A young winger, able to play on both sides. A full-back »

Note that this remains a rumor and not an official announcement. Especially, as we regularly emphasize, the transfer market can quickly change depending on opportunities or the discourse of other clubs. But this media outlet is relatively reliable, and it all makes sense.

The recruitment of a new number 9 seems far from being a priority, between Gonçalo Ramos (24 years old) not particularly looking to leave and Ousmane Dembélé's (28 years old) position, which would need to be changed if a top striker were to become a starter.

Defensive targets are clearly expected, as the squad seems to clearly need reinforcement in that area. A versatile full-back and a central defender, in particular, would fit the game of coach Luis Enrique.

The arrival of a midfielder with a slightly different profile and a versatile striker would also make sense. However, be cautious, as nothing is yet acquired. Especially with prices rising quickly, especially on the PSG side. The club has significant means, everyone knows that, and other clubs can take advantage of it.

But we've already seen in recent months, notably with João Neves and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, that PSG knows how to be patient if the price seems exaggerated. And that's been successful. So, let's be patient, and let the negotiations unfold.
