Parc des Princes Buzzing as PSG Make Major Transfer Moves
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have had a busy summer, reshaping their squad with a mix of young talent and experienced professionals. The French champions have focused on strengthening key positions while preparing for another ambitious campaign in Ligue 1 and Europe.
One of the most exciting signings is Ukrainian centre-back Illia Zabarnyi. The 23-year-old joins from Bournemouth for £54.8 million and becomes PSG’s first Ukrainian player. Zabarnyi, who will wear the No.6 shirt, says he is ready to give everything for the club and is expected to be a key figure in PSG’s defence for years to come. Another important arrival is French goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier from Lille. At just 23, Chevalier sees the move as a dream come true and will compete for playing time as PSG continue to look for consistency in goal. Italy-born, Brazil-raised goalkeeper Renato Marin also joins from Roma, signing a five-year contract as a long-term understudy to Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The midfield has also been reinforced with the return of Carlos Soler from West Ham United. Soler impressed in England but could not stay permanently, and PSG have welcomed him back to add creativity and experience in the centre of the park.
These arrivals come at a time when the club has said goodbye to several high-profile players. Champions League winner Gianluigi Donnarumma leaves for Manchester City, moving on after five years in Paris. France international Nordi Mukiele has joined Sunderland, while Slovak defender Milan Skriniar returns to Fenerbahce after a loan spell. Spain internationals Carlos Soler and Marco Asensio also leave, moving to Real Sociedad and Fenerbahce respectively. Backup goalkeeper Arnau Tenas departs for Villarreal, while Randal Kolo Muani joins Tottenham Hotspur on loan.
Several young players have been sent out to gain experience, including Renato Sanches, Lucas Lavallée, Gabriel Moscardo, Naoufel El Hannach, Yoram Zague, Lenny Lankoso, and Axel Tape, who joins Bayer Leverkusen.
This summer has been one of significant change at Parc des Princes. PSG have combined exciting new signings with strategic loans to balance experience and youth in their squad. Zabarnyi’s arrival strengthens the defence, while Chevalier and Marin provide competition in goal. Soler adds quality in midfield, and the mix of outgoing stars and new talent shows PSG’s ambition to stay competitive domestically and in Europe.
Fans will be keen to see how quickly the new-look squad can gel under the guidance of the coaching staff and how the fresh additions can make an impact in Ligue 1 and the Champions League. With these changes, PSG are clearly sending a message that they intend to remain one of Europe’s most formidable teams, and the Parc des Princes is buzzing with excitement for the new season.
