Psg strikes big: two major signings on the way

Paris Saint-Germain supporters who were hoping for a more active summer 2025 transfer window are about to get their wish. The capital club is preparing to make a massive statement right at the start of this transfer period. Two notable offensive reinforcements are expected in the coming weeks – not before, as both are currently representing their nations at the World Cup.

The first is a familiar face in French football: Maghnes Akliouche.

The France international has been won over by the Parisian side, and AS Monaco is already planning for life after its attacking midfielder. A technical left-footer with versatility, Akliouche is set to replace Lee Kang-in in the Paris squad, as the South Korean is expected to leave the club.

Diomandé makes his choice

The other blockbuster arrival of this early Paris window concerns one of the World Cup’s breakout stars: Yan Diomandé. The Ivory Coast international, an explosive dribbler, has reportedly decided to join the two-time European champions. The transfer could be finalized within hours, as RB Leipzig has resigned itself to losing its 19-year-old prodigy. Also pursued by Liverpool, Diomandé underlines the global appeal of a club that has become a reference worldwide.
