Paris Saint-Germain are Champions League winners — again. But Luis Enrique made clear within hours of the Budapest final that the rebuild starts immediately. “We need to renew the squad because everyone has their position, but we need to play for the position with new players,” Enrique told TNT Sports after the penalty shootout victory over Arsenal. PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaifi echoed that directly: “Of course we will be going to the market.”
The summer window has not officially opened, but the groundwork is already being laid at Parc des Princes. Here is everything you need to know — confirmed deals, live targets, exit rumours, and the transfer stories that will define PSG’s squad heading into a title defence.
🟢 Incoming — Targets and Rumours
Yan Diomandé — RB Leipzig | PRIORITY TARGET
The headline story of PSG’s summer. RB Leipzig sensation Yan Diomandé has reportedly given the green light to a summer move to PSG, though the young winger remains highly tempted by serious interest from Liverpool.
PSG sporting director Luis Campos is determined to regenerate the French champions’ squad following an exhausting campaign and has identified the 19-year-old Ivorian as the perfect profile to solve the club’s current tactical imbalance on the right flank. Having made 33 appearances (28 starts) under Ole Werner in the Bundesliga this season, Diomandé scored 12 goals and provided nine assists — an outstanding record for a teenager.
PSG have already held multiple meetings with RB Leipzig management, but face fierce opposition from Liverpool. Leipzig are currently asking for around €100 million to part with Diomandé, who remains under contract until 2030. The club would prefer he signs an extension. A bidding war between PSG and Liverpool could drive that fee even higher.
Status: Talks ongoing. Diomandé open to PSG. Fee the obstacle.

Julián Álvarez — Atletico Madrid | MAJOR TARGET, COMPLICATED
PSG have made a formal offer for Atletico Madrid striker Julián Álvarez, but the situation has become one of the most tangled transfer stories of the summer. PSG’s interest could be stepped up, with reports suggesting they are willing to meet Atletico’s price tag — however, the player himself has been dallying on the move, reportedly favouring a switch to Barcelona.
Les Parisiens will only bring in players who have a strong desire to play for the club, and Álvarez’s indecision is causing their interest to wane. Spanish analyst Peton claimed on Cadena COPE that Álvarez has “already been transferred to PSG” — but that has not been confirmed by credible primary sources and should be treated as unverified at this stage.
Álvarez has informed Atletico Madrid that he wants to leave the club, which gives PSG a window — but Barcelona remain a threat, and the Argentine’s preference will ultimately determine where this ends.
Status: Unconfirmed. PSG interest real. Player’s preferred destination unclear. Treat with caution.
Morgan Rogers — Aston Villa | INTEREST CONFIRMED
PSG remain interested in Morgan Rogers, with Aston Villa valuing the 23-year-old attacking midfielder at £80m or more. Arsenal are also firmly in the race, with Mikel Arteta understood to want Rogers despite PSG’s competing interest. The Villans are believed to be open to selling to balance their books, but only at a price that reflects his value.
Rogers had an excellent season and represents a different profile to PSG’s current midfield options — direct, goal-scoring, and physically imposing in transition. Whether Enrique views him as a priority over Diomandé or Álvarez remains to be seen.
Status: PSG interested. Arsenal also in race. No bid confirmed yet.

Fermín López — Barcelona | REPORTED INTEREST
PSG are reportedly hopeful of signing Barcelona midfielder Fermín López this summer and are prepared to offload both defender Lucas Hernández and Désir Doué to facilitate a deal. López, valued by Barcelona at around €100m, is one of the most coveted young midfielders in Europe following a stellar La Liga season. No formal bid has been confirmed.
Status: PSG monitoring. No concrete offer confirmed. Unverified at this stage.
Ousmane Diomandé — Sporting CP | EXPLORATORY TALKS
Exploratory discussions have been held with Ousmane Diomandé’s camp. The centre-back has an €80 million release clause and has been one of the most consistent defenders in European football over the past two seasons. PSG’s defensive recruitment is understood to be a priority for Campos this summer.
Status: Early stage. No formal bid made.
Lucas Chevalier — Lille | GOALKEEPER TARGET
According to L’Équipe, Lucas Chevalier’s situation should be monitored closely. Chevalier does not intend to be a backup at PSG — suggesting any potential move would require assurances over first-team football. With Safonov established as number one, the nature of Chevalier’s role would need to be defined before a deal could progress.
Status: Reported interest. No formal approach confirmed.
🔴 Outgoing — Players Who Could Leave
Bradley Barcola — COULD EXIT IF DIOMANDÉ ARRIVES
The most significant potential departure. The possible arrival of Diomandé could have direct consequences for Bradley Barcola’s future. Liverpool have identified Barcola as a priority target, with the Reds looking to strengthen their attack after a disappointing season. Barcola would only be made available at a price significantly above his market value — PSG are not in the business of selling assets cheaply. Barcelona have also been credited with interest.
Status: No confirmed exit. Dependent on Diomandé signing. Liverpool and Barcelona monitoring.

Joao Neves — REAL MADRID INTEREST, PSG WANT TO KEEP HIM
COPE reports that Real Madrid want to bring in PSG midfielder João Neves. Neves, 21, is one of the top prospects in Europe and has a contract until 2030, so would not come cheap. PSG have also floated the prospect of a swap involving João Neves and Real Madrid’s Federico Valverde, though that report comes from El Nacional and should be treated with caution. PSG’s official position is that Neves is not for sale.
Status: Real Madrid interest confirmed. PSG not selling. Swap deal speculation unverified.
Lucas Hernández — COULD LEAVE FOR RIGHT OFFER
A possible departure for Lucas Hernández would depend on a very high financial offer, which is not being made at present. The French international has slipped down the pecking order at Parc des Princes and could be used as a makeweight in the Fermín López deal if Barcelona pursue that avenue.
Status: Available at the right price. No confirmed offer.
Désir Doué — CHELSEA INTEREST
Chelsea has recently shown interest in Désir Doué, with the club appreciating his explosive qualities. Doué, who joined PSG as one of Europe’s most exciting young talents, has not commanded regular starts under Enrique this season. A loan or permanent exit cannot be ruled out.
Status: Chelsea interest reported. PSG’s preference unclear.

What Luis Enrique Wants This Summer
The picture is becoming clear. Enrique and Campos are looking to do two things simultaneously: inject youth and athleticism into the wide areas (Diomandé, Barcola’s potential replacement) and add a world-class centre-forward capable of leading the line at the highest level (Álvarez, if the personal terms can be agreed). Midfield reinforcement is also on the agenda, with Rogers representing a physical, dynamic profile that would complement Vitinha and Neves.
The Diomandé deal looks the closest to completion. The Álvarez situation is the most complex. And the futures of Barcola and Neves will define the tone of what kind of transfer window this truly is — a squad refresh, or the beginning of something more fundamental.
