Bournemouth Receive Over £40M Transfer Warning From PSG

PSG have prioritized young French talent over the last few years with the arrivals of Bradley Barcola, Désiré Doué, and Lucas Chevalier. Nonetheless, this trend looks to be continuing once the summer transfer window opens up later this year.

This shift has allowed the Parisians to establish themselves as one of the top teams last season, with Barcola and Doué playing major roles in the team’s UEFA Champions League win. As a result, this formula will continue.

Now, the question is, what French talent could the Ligue 1 side be eyeing? A new report sheds light on who might be on PSG’s radar.

With the player under contract until 2030, the English side have leverage in any talks. As a result, the report mentions that the transfer fee could exceed £40 million. The French club is seriously considering moving on from some of its current attacking players, including Portuguese forward Gonçalo Ramos.

The goal is to free up wage space and room in the squad so the country’s next young star can get the playing time needed to develop. The club believes its sporting project, built around domestic talent, could be the decisive factor in convincing the player to make the move to Paris.
