Following a remarkable season that has seen the club lift their first Champions League trophy, Luis Enrique and Paris Saint-Germain are set to debut in the FIFA Club World Cup against Atlético Madrid on June 15.
The French Champions recently arrived in the United States, in Los Angeles most precisely where the team's camp is located. After the international break, many players joined back the club and travelled with the team for the tournament. Here are the latest news and transfer updates for Paris Saint-Germain.
Paris Saint-Germain News and Transfer Updates:
The biggest news surrounding the club ahead of the Club World Cup is linked to Bradley Barcola's future at the club. The 22-year-old who suffered a minor knee injury while on international duty with France has seen some of Europe's biggest team come knocking at his door, with reported interest from Bayern Munich and Liverpool.
He is reportedly a priority for both sides looking to sign him this summer to bolster their offensive line with a player who had the best season of his young career with PSG in their treble winning campaign. However, he lost his starting role in Luis Enrique's team following the arrival of Kvaratskhelia and the rise of Désiré Doué, opening the door for top teams hoping to sign him.
Nevertheless, Paris Saint-Germain has closed off any chances to see the international winger leave the club, refusing to open negotiations for the player who joined the club in 2023. Barcola is also reported to refuse to open talks with clubs, seeing his future with PSG.
As recently reported, Randal Kolo Muani's loan spell to Juventus will be extended for the Club World Cup which was initially set to end on June 30. Furthermore, the Italian giant who hopes to keep the France international forward in their squad next season paid an undisclosed fee to the Parisian that will keep the 26-year-old striker with the Italian club until July 13, if they reach the final of the competition.
Additionally, Axel Tape, the talented 17-year-old centre-back who featured in two Ligue 1 games for Paris Saint-Germain this season has joined Bayer Leverkusen on a free transfer. He became a key figure of PSG's youth team, playing a crucial role in their UEFA Youth League journey.
The club is losing a promising player looking to earn more consistent first team minutes, despite making his professional debut with the French Champions this season.
According to Marca, Carlos Soler who has spent the last season on loan at West Ham United in the Premier League has become Villarreal's main target in the summer transfer window. The player is reportedly interested by the prospect of joining the side coached by Marcelino as they are set to play in the Champions League next season.
However, the player who is not part of PSG's plan for the future is still far from the Yellow submarine because of the price tag set by Nasser Al-Khelaifi. Nonetheless, both clubs are actively working to find a solution which could be a loan with an option to buy or a permanent transfer.
Though, the Spanish side is not the only team interested by Soler as Brighton have also enquired about the midfielder. However, it is reported that the possibility of playing European football would tip the balance in favour of Villarreal.
