Without a ‘Galactico' star for the first time in a decade, PSG could well look to rebuild their constellation this summer. Here are our PSG transfer targets for 2025

PSG added Kvicha Kvaratskhelia to their side this January, with Les Parisiens hoping the Georgian can add some spark to their inconsistent Champions League campaign.

Bernardo Silva
We kick things off with long-term PSG target Bernardo Silva, who has been linked with a move across the English Channel for several seasons.
As mentioned above, PSG are planning for the long term, building a real team without the same focus on individuals.
Despite his age, no player could better represent the sea-change in Paris as the signing of Silva. The understated 30-year-old has been a key part of Manchester City's dominance for years since joining from a stellar spell at Monaco, playing many roles across the pitch.
His dazzling technical quality, tactical intelligence, experience, selflessness and relentless work rate would set the standards for a new era at the Parc des Princes, particularly given how youthful PSG's squad is at present.
There is real optimism that Les Parisiens could finally get their man in 2025. Silva will have just a year left on his deal come the summer, and has long been rumoured to be considering leaving Manchester City.
City's recent struggles have seen reports of a major rebuild of their aging squad this summer. Such an overhaul at the Etihad would represent a natural end to Silva's glittering career in Manchester.
We think a return to Ligue 1 with PSG could make a perfect new challenge for the Portuguese international.
Rayan Cherki
One player who certainly does fit PSG's new strategy of signing the very best young French talent is Rayan Cherki, currently of Lyon.
The 21-year-old is one of the most talented players of his generation, blessed with unbelievable technique off either foot. The attacking midfielder can slalom through traffic, find a killer pass or score himself.
Cherki currently ranks in the 99th percentile of attacking midfielders and wingers for expected assists, shot-creating actions, progressive passes and successful take-ons.
What's even better for Les Parisiens is that they may well be able to sign their old rivals' star for a knockdown price, since Lyon have broken Ligue 1's financial regulations and will likely be forced to sell their crown jewels to balance the books. Relegation to Ligue 2 is a possible consequence of failure to do so.
Even better, the Frenchman's contract expires in 2026, further driving down his price.
Cherki is a man in demand, however, with links to the likes of Liverpool, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Napoli all considering a move for the creative maestro.

Christopher Nkunku
Christopher Nkunku left PSG with relatively little fanfare in 2019. The then-21-year-old had made 75 appearances, but had not been given a serious run in the side in their Galactico era.
But in the Bundesliga, the academy graduate became a star with RB Leipzig, scoring 58 goals and assisting 22 in his final two seasons in Germany. A £53m move to Chelsea followed in summer 2023.
Unfortunately for the 26-year-old, things have not gone to plan at Stamford Bridge. He has missed 39 games through injury, and has been a victim of the emergence of Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson as attacking stars.
Nkunku has performed in his cameos though, averaging a stunning 0.88 goals and assists per 90 minutes.
As such, there have been consistent rumours in recent months that the France international is considering his future, with PSG considered a potential destination.
It is a move that makes a lot of sense. Nkunku would represent a path to the first team for academy talent, and add goals and flexibility to the front three.
Nkunku recently told Telefoot that there had been no approach from Les Parisiens… but we think that may change in the coming months as this move suits all parties.

Mohamed Salah
With Liverpool no closer to tying down Salah to a new contract, and the Egyptian now being in the final months of his contract, clubs outside England are now free to approach the superstar forward with pre-contract agreements.
Salah has undoubtedly been the finest player in Europe this season. It is vanishingly rare that such a player becomes available, let alone for potentially nothing.
Normally, there may be questions surrounding a player of Salah's age. But at 32, the Egyptian has shown absolutely no signs of slowing down, physically, mentally or technically. In fact, he looks better than ever, perhaps a consequence of being something of a late bloomer.
Salah also still works hard off the ball and has never been a source of dressing-room drama in the way their previous mega-stars could be – the perfect example for PSG's cast of young stars.
As such, PSG are amongst those chasing him, reportedly preparing to offer Salah a three-year contract with bumper wages, gazumping the deal Liverpool are believed to be offering.
Virgil van Dijk
Salah is not the only Liverpool player with a contract expiring in a few short months… club captain could also join Salah in the departure lounge, while Trent Alexander-Arnold already having boarded his plane to Real Madrid.
Smelling blood, PSG are reportedly eyeing a move for Liverpool's beloved club captain, Virgil van Dijk, whose seven and a half spell at Anfield could come to an end this summer when his contract is up.
Van Dijk has won all there is to win on Merseyside, and could be ready for a new challenge in the closing years of his career.
The Oranje captain has plenty of suitors, with clubs across Europe, as well as the Saudi Arabian nouveau-riche preparing offers for him.
But PSG can offer Van Dijk a compelling package of Champions League football, a huge wage and the appeal of Paris.

Whisper+ hot rumour
If the latest reports are to believed, Salah and Van Dijk are not the only Liverpool players on Les Parisiens' radar, with Ibrahima Konate also high up PSG's list of potential partners for stalwart centre-back Marquinhos.
Konate, 25, may well feel the draw of home city Paris. And with a contract set to expire in 2026, the Reds may just feel they have to cash in on the Frenchman.
