PSG Talk

Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović is once again drawing attention in the transfer market this summer, with PSG, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Aston Villa all reportedly interested in the Serbian forward.

The Serie A side appear ready to part ways with Vlahović, who is under contract until 2026 but commands a high salary that the club may be eager to move off the books. PSG, meanwhile, are open to offloading Randal Kolo Muani, and there’s increasing speculation that Gonçalo Ramos could also be available.

According to a previous report from CaughtOffside, PSG began tracking Vlahović earlier this year. Arsenal and Manchester United are said to be in the race as well, potentially setting up a bidding war. While Vlahović still has a year left on his deal after this season, Juventus could look to sell now rather than risk losing him for free in 2026.

Will AC Milan lose out on PSG transfer target?

AC Milan are keeping an eye on Vlahović’s situation at Juventus, according to Calciomercato. The striker’s contract runs until 2026, but he reportedly wants to see it out and leave on a free transfer — something Juventus are eager to prevent.

While Vlahović could be open to an early exit, he’s asking for a €10 million severance package to be split with his entourage, as he stands to earn €12 million next season if he stays. Milan, however, are only prepared to offer a €6 million salary.

This month, CaughtOffside reported that Newcastle United, Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest are all considering a potential move for Vlahović this summer.

Moreover, the report says Manchester United have started talks with Juventus about including Jadon Sancho in a potential deal for Vlahović. It could be a move that works for everyone—Juventus have been longtime admirers of Sancho, and he’s available to leave Old Trafford this summer.

PSG have prioritized securing young talent that either turns into a quality first team player for them or they can resell if the situation doesn’t work out to recoup most of their fee.

Désiré Doué and João Neves are examples of young players who arrived at PSG and found success despite their age. Moreover, there are other cases where it doesn’t work out, but because they are young, there are suitors for them.

The capital club has moved on from Manuel Ugarte, Xavi Simons, and Hugo Ekitike, but secured a significant fee, or at least having a sell-on clause to go along with the initial sum they received.

With PSG solidifying themselves as the best team in Europe right now, many young players will be open to playing in the French capital.

PSG eye talented England youngster

TBR Football reported Saturday that Fulham are battling to keep hold of England Under-17 captain Seth Ridgeon.

Widely seen as the “crown jewel” of Fulham’s academy, the attacking midfielder is considered one of the top prospects in his age group across the country.

The report also notes that nearly every major English club is monitoring Ridgeon. Manchester United have previously been linked, but there’s now interest from Chelsea, Tottenham, Manchester City, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Aston Villa.

Interest extends beyond England as well, with PSG, Juventus, and Borussia Dortmund also keeping tabs on the talented teenager.

Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović is in the transfer rumor mill this summer, with PSG, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, and Aston Villa among the clubs linked to the Serbian.

The Serie A side are keen on moving on from the player whose contract expires in 2026 and has substantial wages they likely want off their books. For their part, PSG want to sell Randal Kolo Muani, and there’s growing talk that Gonçalo Ramos could also be on the move.

According to a previous report from CaughtOffside, the club started monitoring Vlahović earlier this year. With his reported price tag now dropping, a transfer this summer is becoming increasingly plausible.

Arsenal and Manchester United are also in the mix for Vlahović, setting the stage for a potential bidding war. With just one year left on his contract, Juventus may look to cash in now rather than risk losing him for free in 2026.

Manchester United look to make swap deal for PSG target

On Wednesday, CaughtOffside reported that Newcastle United, Tottenham, Aston Villa, and Nottingham Forest are all considering a potential move for Vlahović this summer, according to sources.

The report also says Manchester United have started talks with Juventus about including Jadon Sancho in a potential deal for Vlahović. It could be a move that works for everyone—Juventus have been longtime admirers of Sancho, and he’s available to leave Old Trafford this summer.

Randal Kolo Muani made a solid impact during his loan stint at Juventus last season, tallying 10 goal contributions in 19 appearances across all competitions.

PSG are hoping his performances in Turin help raise his market value ahead of the summer transfer window. The club likely want to recover at least half of the €95 million it spent to sign him from Eintracht Frankfurt in 2023.

Kolo Muani struggled for consistent playing time under Luis Enrique, starting just two matches all season. His long-term future is still up in the air and may depend on how things unfold with Juventus’ new coaching staff.

After Thiago Motta’s departure, Igor Tudor stepped in as manager. Kolo Muani had to earn his spot early on but saw more regular action as the 2024-25 campaign progressed. Juventus held onto him through the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, but with their tournament now over, the French forward will soon have to decide on his next move.

Juventus unlikely to buy PSG outcast

Kolo Muani looks unlikely to return to Juventus, where he spent the second half of last season on loan, as PSG have shifted their stance on a potential deal.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Juventus were hoping to secure another loan for the 26-year-old, and PSG initially seemed open to the idea.

However, the Club World Cup semifinalists are now only willing to consider a permanent transfer worth €40 million. Juventus’ only remaining hope is that PSG change course and revisit the loan option.

Recently, Gianluca Di Marzio reported that Juventus have opened talks with PSG over a potential loan deal for Kolo Muani, with an option to buy. However, PSG are not willing to accept that kind of arrangement.

In April, GIVEMESPORT reported that Tottenham Hotspur are ready to make another move for the French forward if Juventus chooses not to make his loan permanent.

Tottenham are expected to pursue attacking reinforcements this summer, regardless of whether Ange Postecoglou stayed on as manager, which he didn’t.

AC Milan are emerging as a serious contender in the search for a new striker this summer, joining Tottenham Hotspur and PSG in the race. PSG, for their part, appear open to offloading Randal Kolo Muani, and there’s growing talk that Gonçalo Ramos could also be on the move.

One of the top names on PSG’s list is Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović. According to a previous report from CaughtOffside, the club started monitoring the Serbian international earlier this year. With his reported price tag now dropping, a transfer this summer is becoming increasingly plausible.

Arsenal and Manchester United are also in the mix for Vlahović, setting the stage for a potential bidding war. With just one year left on his contract, Juventus may look to cash in now rather than risk losing him for free in 2026.

Another Premier League club eyes PSG, Tottenham target

Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Aston Villa are keeping a close eye on Vlahović’s situation. Juventus are reportedly looking to part ways with the striker by mutually terminating his contract, which runs until next June, in an effort to clear his wages from the books.

TEAMtalk reported Sunday that Juventus are ready to let Vlahović go for as little as €15 million—half of their initial €30 million asking price—as they look to avoid losing him for free next summer and clear his sizable wages.

Calciomercato recently revealed AC Milan have already made a move, with new manager Massimiliano Allegri naming the 25-year-old Serbian striker as his top target to bolster the attack.

However, any potential deal would likely require Vlahović to accept a pay cut from his current €12 million salary. Talks between the two clubs are expected to continue.

GIVE ME SPORT also previously noted that Tottenham could snap up Vlahović at a bargain price this summer. Juventus are reportedly open to a deal in the region of £20 million, and the striker is said to be open to a fresh start in the Premier League.

At this rate, with Juventus dropping the price, that new chapter could arrive sooner rather than later.

PSG sold Xavi Simons to RB Leipzig earlier this year, and the Dutch midfielder has quickly drawn interest from several Premier League clubs—including Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United.

As previously reported by Fabrizio Romano, Leipzig paid €80 million for Simons, with €55 million of that coming up front. The 21-year-old signed a contract running through June 2027, and PSG included a sell-on clause in the deal.

With the summer transfer window nearing, speculation around Simons’ future continues to grow. According to a recent report from CaughtOffside, Manchester United may now be in the lead to sign him.

Meanwhile, Fichajes claims Tottenham are aiming to strengthen their squad ahead of a return to the Champions League, listing Simons as one of their three top targets. The report adds that the club is “dreaming” of securing the Dutch international, which could hand PSG a significant windfall if a deal goes through.

Former PSG ace finds transfer window challenging

According to Bild, Simons is still searching for a new club as the transfer window opens. Several Premier League teams, including Newcastle United, have shown interest, but he is reportedly not interested in a move to the northeast of England. Additionally, concerns about his attitude may discourage potential suitors.

Last month, Fichajes reported that Newcastle United are eager to make Xavi Simons a central figure in their plans for next season. The Premier League side is said to be preparing a bid in the region of €70 million for the talented Dutch midfielder.

This follows a Bild report claiming that RB Leipzig signed Simons from PSG in January for €50 million and are looking to make a €20 million profit on the deal.

Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle are all keeping a close eye on the 22-year-old, who recorded 11 goals and eight assists in 33 appearances last season.

AC Milan are starting to position themselves as a serious player in the summer striker market, joining Tottenham Hotspur and PSG in the hunt. PSG, meanwhile, seem open to moving on from Randal Kolo Muani, and there’s even talk that Gonçalo Ramos could be on the way out as well.

One of the top names on PSG’s radar is Juventus striker Dušan Vlahović. According to CaughtOffside, the French side began tracking the Serbian international earlier this year, and with his price tag becoming more reasonable, a summer move is starting to look realistic.

Arsenal and Manchester United are also monitoring Vlahović closely, which could set up a potential bidding war. With just one year left on his contract, Juventus may be more willing to sell now rather than risk losing him for nothing in 2026.

Are AC Milan favorite to land PSG, Tottenham-linked attacker?

According to TBR Football’s chief correspondent Graeme Bailey, intermediaries have approached several Premier League clubs about Vlahović. Still, despite the interest from England, it looks like the striker is more likely to stay in Italy.

“There is interest in England in Vlahovic, but I can confirm no offers are on the table in the Premier League for him, as yet,” Bailey told TBR. “There was a suspicion amongst the clubs that he was waiting for other interest, and now something has come up at Milan with Allegri’s move to the club.

“I am told that, as it stands, they are firm favourites for Vlahović, but that could change. If that does happen, then we could see Premier League interest materialise, but at this point it has not.”

A previous report from GIVE ME SPORT says Tottenham might have a chance to sign Vlahović at a bargain price this summer. Juventus are said to be willing to let the Serbian striker go for as little as £20 million, as he continues to struggle to find his best form. Vlahović has reportedly shown interest in starting fresh in the Premier League.

While Juventus would prefer closer to £35 million, they understand they may have to accept a lower fee to move him on. The club is actively seeking a buyer, which could potentially lower the price if Tottenham or another team makes a serious offer.

Tottenham are keeping a close eye on the situation and could increase their interest in the coming weeks. Despite not living up to expectations since joining Juventus, Vlahović is still seen as a player with plenty of potential, the report adds.

PSG looked to strengthen their midfield last summer and identified Palmeiras standout Richard Ríos as a top target.

The Colombian midfielder impressed at the 2024 Copa América, playing a key role in his country’s run to the final before falling to Argentina.

In August 2024, Antena 2 Deportes reported that PSG submitted a €20 million bid for the 24-year-old, who had also drawn interest from AC Milan and Manchester United. However, despite PSG’s efforts, UOL revealed that Palmeiras’ president made it clear Ríos wasn’t for sale—even with the Ligue 1 side pushing their offer to €20 million.

Does PSG have no interest in Palmeiras’ star?

A recent report revealed that PSG are in discussions with Palmeiras for their midfielder. Luis Campos has reportedly given the green light, and Luis Enrique is said to want the player to bolster his midfield. The deal could total around €30 million.

However, journalist Arthur Perrot quickly dismissed the rumor. On his X account, the PSG specialist for RMC Sport responded to a tweet citing South American press reports with two red Xs, indicating the claim is false. It therefore appears PSG are not pursuing Ríos.

Back in February, CaughtOffside reported that West Ham, Nottingham Forest, and Tottenham were all closely monitoring the progress of the Colombian midfielder, with plans to potentially make a move this summer.

However, none of the three Premier League clubs are willing to pay his €100 million release clause. Tottenham were especially keen during the January window, but talks never moved past the early stages as Palmeiras refused to budge on their asking price.

PSG have players like Xavi Simons and Hugo Ekitike, for whom they have a sell-on clause. However, another player whose future should interest PSG supporters on whether he gets sold this summer is Stade Rennais’ Arnaud Kalimuendo.

L’Equipe reported in 2022 that Rennes and PSG agreed to an estimated €25 million transfer for Kalimuendo, including bonuses. The deal also includes a percentage of any future resale of the forward.

Since joining Rennes in 2022, Kalimuendo has recorded 40 goals and 14 assists in 112 appearances across all competitions. This production from the 23-year-old is now leading to interest from the Premier League.

Tottenham step up efforts for former PSG ace

According to a report from L’Equipe, Tottenham Hotspur have stepped up their pursuit of a new striker, targeting Rennes standout Arnaud Kalimuendo.

With the transfer window now open, the report claims Tottenham officials have initiated talks with their counterparts at Rennes to negotiate a potential deal for the forward.

However, Tottenham face competition, as the report also notes that Newcastle United and Bayer Leverkusen are showing interest in Kalimuendo as well.

Kalimuendo is expected to be a key addition and will likely cost around €30 million (£26 million), as he has just two years left on his contract.

Meanwhile, L’Équipe adds that other clubs being alerted to the striker’s availability has prompted Daniel Levy and the Spurs hierarchy to intensify their efforts to complete a deal. The report adds that Tottenham have now made direct contact with Rennes to begin formal negotiations over the transfer.

However, it’s worth noting that no official bid has been submitted yet, as Spurs look to gauge how much they’ll need to pay to secure the signing.

PSG finally captured the UEFA Champions League trophy Saturday night — and they did it in style. The Ligue 1 giants dominated Inter Milan 5-0 at the Allianz Arena to secure their first-ever title in Europe’s top club competition.

The team from Paris came out strong, with Achraf Hakimi and Désiré Doué scoring in the first half to take a 2-0 lead into the break. After halftime, Luis Enrique’s squad kept the pressure on.

Doué scored again, and goals from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Senny Mayulu put the result beyond doubt — delivering the long-awaited European crown to the French capital.

On top of that, PSG’s victory sets up a UEFA Super Cup showdown against Tottenham Hotspur, who won the UEFA Europa League, to kick off the 2025-26 season.

Tottenham must improve to challenge PSG for UEFA Super Cup

On Sunday, TalkSPORT‘s Tony Cascarino noted that if Tottenham want to edge PSG, they’re going to need to improve their squad vastly to win this trophy over the Parisians. Moreover, Spurs don’t want to be the latest Premier League club to fall to PSG this year.

“I think Spurs need a few signings,” Cascarino said. “I think it’s a great test for Spurs because obviously, you know, next season is going to be big for them. You know, European champion, Champions League as well.

“It’s going to be big for them, and they’ve witnessed last night—anybody who’s associated with football witnessed the performance last night—knows that this team they’re going to be up against is going to be one of the leading candidates for the team every year in the Champions League.

“Are going to be seriously dangerous, because they are. Their work rate is exceptional. I can’t remember a team, in every position on the pitch, that works so hard as they do.”
