PSG wants to sign 5 FC Barcelona players, per report

Champions League Eve. It's time to organize your week so that nothing interrupts the most important club football spectacle, and to read random rumors. PSG and FC Barcelona are the protagonists on this occasion.

Let's get into it. PSG has shown a keen interest in bolstering their defense ahead of the 2024-25 season, with reports from Catalunya Radio (h/t SPORT) indicating their focus on two FC Barcelona players: Jules Koundé and Héctor Fort.

A meeting took place two weeks ago between PSG emissaries and representatives from Barça to discuss the situation of both players. While the Catalan club responded negatively regarding Héctor Fort, they left the door open to negotiate the departure of Koundé.

In addition to Koundé and Fort, PSG has also explored the option of signing other FC Barcelona players, including Frenkie de Jong, Lamine Yamal, and Pau Cubarsí. However, in the case of the latter two, who come from the club's academy, no agreement seems likely. As for Dutch midfielder De Jong, who is under contract until June 2026, his departure could be considered if an attractive offer were to arise.

It's worth noting that this information is being reported by a media outlet with ties to FC Barcelona, and it comes just a week before PSG faces the Catalan club in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

As always, the suggestion remains the same. These reports should be taken with a grain of salt, and nothing should be taken for granted until there is something official. And that won't be until several months from now.
