Paris Saint-Germain have abandoned their Galatico transfer strategy over the past two years and they are now focused on building a squad with far greater team harmony.

The days of Lionel Messi, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar lining up in attack are long gone, and the Ligue 1 side are instead aiming to sign talented youngsters in a bid to become consistent Champions League challengers.

Below, FootballTransfers runs through five players who could join PSG this summer.

Rayan Cherki (Lyon)

Rayan Cherki has been linked with a Lyon exit for years, but his time at the club looks as though it could be set to end this summer.

The France U21 international has enjoyed a sublime season at the Groupama Stadium and PSG are one of the teams tracking his progress as they eye a potential bid during the 2025 summer transfer window.

A number of other clubs across Europe, including Borussia Dortmund, are also interested in Cherki, although the allure of remaining in France may help PSG land the attacking midfielder.

Victor Osimhen (Napoli - on loan at Galatasaray)

PSG were heavily tipped to sign Victor Osimhen in 2024, but they were unable to finalise an agreement with Napoli and he eventually joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan deal.

Luis Enrique’s side have been touted to rekindle their interest in the Nigerian this summer, although it remains to be seen if PSG will push to sign the Napoli superstar amid competition from Chelsea and Manchester United.

Osimhen is, however, destined to leave Napoli ahead of the 2025-26 campaign so PSG could pounce and land one of the best forwards in world football.

Bernardo Silva (Man City)

This one seems slightly unlikely given PSG’s desire to build a squad filled with talented youngsters, although Bernardo Silva has continuously been linked with a move to the Parc des Princes in recent years.

The Portugal international only has one year remaining on his current contract at Manchester City and multiple reports have speculated that he will leave the Etihad Stadium this summer.

PSG may decide against pursuing a deal, but Silva is due to be available and he could be picked up for a bargain fee as Pep Guardiola looks to oversee a major revamp at Man City.

Mason Greenwood (Marseille)

Mason Greenwood has enjoyed a successful spell at Marseille, but he has fallen out of favour under Roberto De Zerbi in recent weeks.

As a result, a summer transfer is on the cards and PSG are reportedly interested in a possible deal.

Greenwood has impressed the PSG hierarchy since his arrival in Ligue 1 last year and they are reportedly considering submitting an offer ahead of the summer window.

Lucas Chevalier (Lille)

Gianluigi Donnarumma remains an excellent shot-stopper, but his ability in possession is a real concern for Luis Enrique and PSG have been tipped to sign a new goalkeeper this summer as a result.

Lille star Lucas Chevalier is one of the players under consideration by the Parisians after several seasons of consistent performances in between the sticks for the French giants.

Chelsea and Manchester City are also admirers of Chevalier, however, so PSG may be required to finalise an agreement quickly if they want to win the race for his signature.
