PSG new signings: Confirmed ins and outs for January 2025

Despite PSG entering a new, post-Galactico era after the departure of Kylian Mbappe, it has been service as usual for PSG, as they dominate domestically but struggle in Europe.

PSG have acted decisively in January, with plenty of business done under the watch of transfer mastermind Luis Campos.

PSG new signings in January 2025

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

After being a PSG transfer target for the last year, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has finally joined Les Parisiens, for a fee of around £60m.

Kvaratskhelia, 23, is a near ambipedal winger, and is a considerable coup, coming from title-chasing Napoli in Serie A.

Kvaratskhelia signing grade – A

PSG have lacked magic in the final third in Mbappe's absence, and in Kvaratskhelia, they have gone some way to replacing that star power.

The Georgian wizard developed a near-supernatural reputation in Naples, earning the nickname ‘Kvaradona' for the way his mazy dribbles carried Napoli to the Scudetto in 2023, just as Diego Maradona did once upon a time.

Kvaratskhelia can open up any game with his skill and trickery, so £60m is also a reasonable fee.

The fear that Kvaratskhelia's arrival would mean dropping one of Bradley Barcola or Ousmane Dembele has been allayed by Dembele's surprising emergence as one of Europe's hottest strikers.

The three tricksters have looked one of Europe's most potent front threes in 2025. As such, this transfer gets top marks from us.

PSG confirmed departures January 2025: Full list

• Randal Kolo-Muani (Juventus, loan)
• Xavi Simons (RB Leipzig, £42m)
• Cher Ndour (Fiorentina, £4m)
• Juan Bernat (Villareal, free)
• Marco Asensio (Aston Villa, loan)
• Milan Skriniar (Fenerbahce, loan)

PSG transfer window rating: B

Kvaratskhelia's addition is the big fish PSG were looking to land, with the Georgian hopefully set to give Les Parisiens extra spark.

Other than Kvaratskhelia, it has been all about lightening up Les Parisiens' bloated squad, which they have done very succesfully.

The very youthful squad could still perhaps benefit from some top-level experience, but that is a minor critique.

Retrospective: PSG new signings in the summer 2024 transfer window

PSG opted for young talent in the summer of 2024 as they attempted to form a new identity in the wake of Mbappe's departure. Portuguese prodigy Joao Neves has become a midfield staple, and Willian Pacho looks a shrewd addition at the back.

Desire Doue, 19, has looked bright in moments, but is yet to nail down a place in attack. Elsewhere Matey Safonov looks a capable backup to Gianluigi Donnarumma.

They may not be world-beaters yet, but Les Parisiens have an exciting young core.
