With the 2025-2026 campaign culminating in a historic back-to-back victory in the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain is already plotting its next moves to strengthen the squad for the upcoming season.
Paris Saint-Germain completed a memorable double by overcoming Arsenal in a nail-biting final (1-1, 4-3 on penalties), securing their second consecutive European crown. Now, the club’s leadership is focused on sustaining this dominance by addressing key positions in the team. The PSG management is actively evaluating options to refine the roster ahead of the new campaign.
Batrakov on the verge of joining PSG this summer
A first major signing could be just around the corner. Aleksey Batrakov, the dynamic 20-year-old midfielder from Lokomotiv Moscow, is poised to make the switch to the French capital. His agent, Dmitry Cheltsov, has publicly indicated the transfer is imminent during an appearance on a Russian television show. «It’s time to confirm that, at 95%, Batrakov will be joining Paris Saint-Germain. The clubs have already held over ten phone calls, and Luis Campos is scheduled to travel to Moscow this week to finalize the deal. Unless something unexpected happens, this move is practically sealed. The transfer fee is set at €25 million, with an additional €5-6 million allocated for his annual salary.»
Batrakov’s standout performances at Lokomotiv Moscow this season—17 goals and 13 assists in 36 matches across all competitions—align perfectly with PSG’s recruitment strategy. The young Russian international brings creativity, technical skill, and attacking prowess, qualities that could prove invaluable in Paris.
