Paris Saint-Germain are looking to bolster their left-back depth behind Nuno Mendes, and sporting advisor Luís Campos may be turning to Belgium for a solution.

According to a recent report from Mundo Deportivo, PSG are eyeing Maxim De Cuyper from Club Brugge. The 23-year-old, whose contract runs through 2028, is considered a strong fit for Campos’ recruitment strategy.

While AC Milan have also shown interest, PSG are reportedly preparing an appealing offer to bring De Cuyper to Paris. The left-back is valued at €12 million, according to Transfermarkt.

Arsenal have reportedly started talks with De Cuyper’s agent in an effort to reach a contract agreement, according to Italian outlet Tuttosport. The Gunners are eager to strike a deal with the six-cap Belgium international before other top clubs get involved.

Moreover, the report mentions that AC Milan have reached out to De Cuyper’s representative, while West Ham United and Juventus have scouted him multiple times this season.

Arsenal want to confirm that De Cuyper is open to joining them this summer. Once that’s settled, they’ll begin formal talks with Brugge to negotiate a deal.

The Belgian club is asking for €25 million (£20.6m / $25.9m) to sell De Cuyper, a fee well within Arsenal’s budget.
