Transfer news – Ajax move quickly for Carlos Soler on paid loan | OneFootball

Carlos Soler, a 28-year-old midfielder who joined Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2022 from Valencia with a contract until 2027, failed to convince on the pitch and was loaned to West Ham for the 2024-2025 season. He is now back in Paris, with a solution to be found for his future. Voetbalzone-NL reports that the player is a target for Ajax Amsterdam on a loan with an obligation to buy. Soler is not insensitive to the idea.

The Carlos Soler affair is not just about the possible departure of a player lacking influence at Paris Saint-Germain. It illustrates a deeper trend: the Parisian club is seeking to reduce a wage bill that has long weighed on its flexibility. With heavy and sometimes poorly anticipated contracts (Neymar, Verratti, Messi yesterday, Draxler or Kurzawa before them), PSG has often paid for its inability to quickly get rid of its unwanted players.

Soler's departure to Ajax, with the full coverage of his salary, marks a change in strategy. Paris is no longer just looking to sell high, but to clean up its accounts and prepare the ground for more targeted investments. By accepting to let go of a player who was not in Luis Enrique's plans, the club is taking a step towards more pragmatic management. At the end of the day, the Soler operation is less of a sporting issue than an accounting and political signal: Paris is finally learning to get rid of its dead weight.
