PSG complete two bold moves ahead of Super Cup clash

As Paris Saint-Germain prepare to face Tottenham in the UEFA Super Cup, significant squad changes suggest a new chapter for the French giants.

Transfer Watch

Gianluigi Donnarumma is set for a Premier League move, with Manchester City emerging as the most likely destination. It follows his exclusion from PSG's UEFA Super Cup squad amid new signing Lucas Chevalier stepping in as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper. Donnarumma’s agent has emphasized that ongoing tensions with PSG have driven the keeper's desire to leave for England.

Meanwhile, PSG have confirmed the signing of Illia Zabarnyi from Bournemouth for a hefty £57 million. The Ukrainian centre-back cited PSG's ambition and opportunity for personal growth as reasons for choosing PSG over other interested Premier League sides. This marks a determined transfer approach from PSG, signalling their intent to strengthen defensively after winning the Champions League last season.

Squad Insight

As PSG gear up to face Tottenham Hotspur in the Super Cup, uncertainties regarding Presnel Kimpembe's future linger. Although celebrating his 30th birthday today, Kimpembe's standing at PSG is precarious, having been excluded from the squad for today's match. His journey, marked by injuries and limited playing time, could be drawing to a close, raising the possibility of a transfer before the summer window shuts.

PSG's UEFA Super Cup squad, missing Donnarumma, instead features Lucas Chevalier in goal, alongside returning players like Achraf Hakimi, currently leading the Ballon d'Or fan poll, much to the delight of fans.

Tactical Notes

Luis Enrique’s tactical acumen will be crucial in navigating the Super Cup after recent setbacks, including a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea in the FIFA Club World Cup final. PSG’s dominance over English teams in the last season, highlighted by triumphs over Liverpool and Arsenal, firmly positions them as favourites against Tottenham. Ousmane Dembélé, central to PSG’s attacking potency, is expected to play a pivotal role, continuing his impressive form from last season.
