Man Utd, Man City Challenged by PSG for Arsenal Teen Standout’s Signature | OneFootball

The January transfer window is open, and Paris Saint-Germain could still make a move or two before the deadline. That said, the club might also be looking ahead to their summer plans, aiming to strengthen the squad for Year 3 under Luis Enrique.

With the guidance of sporting advisor Luis Campos, PSG has shifted focus toward young talent—players who haven’t quite reached their full potential yet or are entering their prime years.

In recent transfer windows, PSG has signed the likes of Bradley Barcola, João Neves, Désiré Doué, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia—all of whom are 23 or younger. It seems the club may be targeting another emerging talent to add to their roster.
