The 2023-2024 season promises to be an interesting one for Paris-Saint-Germain. This year seems to symbolize a renewal in the Parisian club's sporting project, after a complicated year and the new PSG coach's departure after just one year. At the beginning of July, the club announced the arrival of a new coach, Luis Enrique, who is giving hope to the fans. With him, the mercato opened, and this summer's recruits began to play.
After the departure of Messi and Ramos, other Parisian players left the squad, thus reducing PSG's imposing wage bill. After this impressive mercato, the club's loft is virtually empty! Many French players have joined the club, much to the delight of the fans. Let's take a look at the new Parisians!
This article will be updated as the mercato progresses.
Milan Škriniar
First recruit of the summer after a failed sale last year, former Inter Milan defender Škriniar had already hinted at his arrival at Paris-Saint-Germain before the summer began. It's now official, and the Slovak has signed for five years, free of any contract. Italian champion in 2021, runner-up in 2022 and third in 2023, the player should do the club's defence a world of good, if his injury does not recur.
Marco Asensio
A top-quality French international and 2018 World Champion who can play at either left-back or center-back, Lucas Hernández joined Bayern Munich in 2019, where he has won numerous trophies, including the Champions League. Often mocking PSG and a native of Marseille, his signing came as a surprise, but the player says he's looking forward to proving himself to the fans.
Young Spanish goalkeeper Arnau Tenas (22) joins from FC Barcelona to provide competition for Gianluigi Donnarumma on a 3-year contract.
Gonçalo Ramos
The club has filled up on strikers, with the arrival of the Portuguese player from Benfica, on loan with compulsory purchase option. An excellent player for both club and country, Ramos looks set to establish himself at the forefront of the attack.
Ousmane Dembélé
Another Frenchman for the PSG team! After six years playing for FC Barcelona, the striker used to playing alongside Kylian Mbappé should greatly help the Parisian club in its big games, in the absence of Neymar and Messi.
Bradley Barcola
The 20-year-old international prospect leaves his training club, Olympique Lyonnais, to sign a contract with Paris that runs until 2028. After just six months in the professional game, but with some decisive actions and goals to his name, the striker joins the capital club to strengthen the bench.
Randal Kolo Muani
After a night full of twists and turns at the very end of the mercato, the French striker has finally joined Paris-Saint-Germain from Frankfurt. He has signed up for five seasons, completing a 100% blue-white-red attack that is a godsend for both the club and the national team.
