Transfer Speculation and PSG’s Stance
Paris Saint-Germain have rejected speculation linking them with a move for AFC Bournemouth’s 19-year-old winger Rayan. Reports had circulated that the Brazilian international was on the radar of the back-to-back UEFA Champions League holders, but according to Le Parisien, these claims have been dismissed by the Ligue 1 champions.
While PSG were previously interested in RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomandé, the Ivory Coast winger is now set to join José Mourinho’s Real Madrid side, ruling out a Paris move.

Strengthening the Attack: Akliouche Inbound
The summer transfer market remains active at PSG as the club pushes to bolster Luis Enrique’s attacking options. Les Parisiens have finalised a €50m agreement with AS Monaco for the transfer of French international Maghnes Akliouche. The versatile midfielder is set to provide competition on the right wing, joining a group that includes Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola. Akliouche is expected to step in for Lee Kang-in, who recently completed a €40m switch to Atlético de Madrid.
Potential Departures and Striker Targets
Uncertainty surrounds Bradley Barcola’s future in Paris, with Liverpool expressing interest. The Premier League side are reportedly preparing an offer for the winger before the transfer window closes. Elsewhere, PSG are seeking to fill a vacancy at striker following their separation from Gonçalo Ramos. Ferran Torres, who won the 2026 World Cup, and Belgian forward Charles De Ketelaere have emerged as leading candidates to provide additional attacking depth.
