After PSG's back-to-back Champions League title, numerous PSG players have already flown out to join their national team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup that will take place in Mexico, Canada and the United States.

Some of these players are far from being important in the French capital and will hope to deliver top-level performances to possibly earn a move away.

Three PSG players that could earn a move away after the World Cup

1- Gonçalo Ramos

The Portuguese striker has tremendously struggled to fit into Luis Enrique's system since joining the club three years ago. He remained mostly a bench player, a super-sub at times. Several times, he has been named in transfer rumours and this time, it seems that he tenure at the club could be nearing its end.

Almost four years ago, he delivered a superb World Cup as Portugal number one option at number nine ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, while this time around he is expected to start on the bench, he remains an important part of this Seleçao squad. He should be able to earn enough playtime to land a move away from the French capital in a project where he would be a central piece of the system.

2- Lee Kang-In

The South Korean has been a good player for the team but is far from being an important piece of Luis Enrique's rotation since last season. Nonetheless, he is still a very good player with several clubs enquiring about him. His versatility combined with his technical abilities could be key assets for any teams looking to sign him.

He will also be a key player of the Korea Republic team and a great tournament could be the best way to earn a move away to a big club from the Premier League or La Liga. He will feature alongside Heung Min Son and lead his country into this tournament.

3- Ibrahim Mbaye

The next PSG that needs to perform at the upcoming World Cup to earn a move away from the French capital is Ibrahim Mbaye. The Senegalese winger is full of potential and is already incredibly talented. However, in a star-studded PSG team, it has been incredibly difficult for him to get much minutes on the pitch.

At the beginning of the season, he made the most of his opportunity to play while several key players where injured and showcased all his abilities as PSG defeated Barcelona in the League Phase of the Champions League. Many big European teams have already enquired about him for this summer but top-level performance with Sadio Mané's Senegal could definitely help him get a transfer to a bigger team.
