Meanwhile, Juventus CEO Maurizio Arrivabene has confirmed that the Serie A giants are in talks to sign Leandro Paredes this summer. Elsewhere, a Napoli midfielder is all set to join the Parisians.
On that note, here’s a look at the key PSG transfer stories as on August 27, 2022:
Maurizio Arrivabene confirms talks to sign Leandro Paredes
Maurizio Arrivabene has confirmed that Juventus are in talks with PSG to sign Leandro Paredes. The Argentinean midfielder is likely to leave the Parc des Princes this summer, and the Bianconeri are ready to lap him up.
Speaking to DAZN, as relayed by Football Italia, Arrivabene said that the Italian side are also assessing their outgoings carefully.
Paredes has 117 appearances for the Parisians so far and has scored three goals.
Fabian Ruiz set to join PSG
PSG are very close to completing a move for Fabian Ruiz this summer, according to Calciomercato via Cult of Calcio.
New sporting director Luis Campos is planning to unleash a new-look midfield this season and has the Spaniard on his agenda. Ruiz has been outstanding for Napoli since 2018 and has 22 goals in 166 games across competitions so far.
The Parisians have already agreed personal terms with the player and will now have to strike a deal with the Serie A side.
Ruiz is in the final year of his contract and is reluctant to sign an extension. Napoli will have to offload him this summer or run the risk of losing him for free in 2023. The Italian side want around €25 million for their prized asset, which the Ligue 1 giants are willing to pay.
Christophe Galtier opens up about congested fixture list ahead
Christophe Galtier believes PSG will have to make full use of their squad to address the busy run of fixtures ahead. The Parisians will play seven games in the space of 21 days in the league and Europe beginning with their clash against Monaco.
Speaking to the press, Galtier warned that the Ligue 1 giants have to be ambitious despite the congested fixture list looming ahead.
He added:
PSG have had a flawless start to their season, winning all four games so far across competitions and winning a trophy too.
