PSG have enjoyed another successful season, with Luis Enrique’s side having made another deep run in the Champions League as they also look good to defend their Ligue 1 crown.
Operating on a small squad, the target of PSG will be adding to their current roster with quality additions, but there is also the tricky task of offloading those players who are unhappy with life in Paris currently.
Who is pushing to leave and where could they go?
Bradley Barcola
Liverpool have long been sniffing around France international Barcola, who has also been associated with a move to Arsenal, Barcelona, Manchester United and Manchester City.
It has even been claimed that for an offer of €100 million, PSG would agree for the former Lyon star to leave.
Barcola, meanwhile, is locked in contract talks with the Ligue 1 leaders, who are a side that have never under Qatari ownership been pressed into a sale they do not wish to make.
PSG’s decision may rest on whether they are able to sign Yan Diomande from RB Leipzig as a replacement – and how much the Ivory Coast international would cost.
It would be surprising if Barcola were to leave, but it’s certainly not impossible.
Ousmane Dembele
Ballon d’Or winner Dembele has long been locked in contract talks with PSG, and the outcome of these will shape his future.
Dembele is seeking a pay rise on his estimated €18 million annual salary, and the Ligue 1 champions are reticent to give him this.
“We have a salary cap, as everyone knows. The team and the club are the most important,” president Nasser Al-Khelaifi said at the end of January.
PSG are not going to be bullied into giving the forward a new deal, but equally the player is not about to roll over for the Parc des Princes side either.
L’Equipe reports that Dembele’s advisors have noted that Luis Enrique is poised to receive €20m per year from the club, while the forward wants to use the wages of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar as a benchmark figure.
It’s certainly not impossible that talks break down and Dembele is sold this summer. A decision is expected when the season is finished.
Goncalo Ramos
Portugal international striker Goncalo Ramos has an impressive strike rate with PSG, but his lack of minutes makes him vulnerable to leaving the European champions. Head coach Luis Enrique has made it clear that he does not count upon him in clutch moments, and a missed penalty in a recent 2-1 loss against Lyon and a red card against Angers has certainly not helped his cause.
Still only 24 years old, the former Benfica man can still achieve great things but needs to move to a club more attuned to his style of play. He is a square peg in a round hole in Paris currently.
Eli Kroupi (Bournemouth) and Esteban Lepaul (Rennes) have been suggested as possible alternatives.
Kang-in Lee
PSG had to fight off interest from Atletico Madrid to retain the sparky South Korean midfielder during the January transfer window, but it will be hard for them to resist another approach for the 25-year-old come the summer.
Lee is a player who merits more action that he has been awarded at Parc des Princes. When called upon, he rarely lets his side down, regardless of the role he is asked to play.
Transfer rumours surround the former Valencia player, with reports of a big-money offer from Saudi Arabia.
Luis Enrique loves him and wants him to extend his deal, but it promises to be a difficult task.
Ibrahim Mbaye
Fabrizio Romano dropped a telling note on Ibrahim Mbaye last week, when he pointed out the 18-year-old had not been involved in four successive PSG matches and had not even travelled with the squad to Lyon.
Mbaye is not typically the sort of player who would typically merit an update from the transfer insider, so it suggests that it was information fed to him by a source aware of the 18-year-old Senegal international being unsettled.
It was a message that seemed to get through: Mbaye has since come off the bench in each of PSG’s last two games.
But the noise over the teenager is a worrying sign for the Parisians, who will want to retain their academy product.
