Work is complete in Paris. With the winter transfer window now closed, it’s time to assess PSG’s moves. Were the Parisians smart in their strategy? Here are some elements of an answer.
PSG recruited very little this winter. Luis Enrique did not want to disrupt his squad. The Paris coach is locking things down and sticking with continuity, relying on a tight group of 24 players for the second half of the 2025–2026 season.
A Strategy Focused on Stability and Targeted Reinforcement
On the arrivals side, there was only one signing: Dro Fernandez, brought in from FC Barcelona for around €8 million. It’s a targeted bet rather than a revolution. The message is clear: quality over quantity. However, this approach raises questions given that the first half of the season was heavily marked by injuries — around thirty in just a few weeks. The Paris staff is betting on a much stronger second half, with key players returning fully fit.
There were still three departures. Paris trimmed the squad intelligently. Yoram Zague left on loan to KAS Eupen to gain playing time. Noham Kamara moved toward Lyon on a loan deal with a mandatory purchase clause estimated at €7.5 million, including contractual protections for Paris. Eddy Doué, cousin of Désiré Doué, was also sold to Portugal.
Overall assessment: a quiet transfer window, precise adjustments, and a stable squad. Luis Enrique is clearly betting on reviving players already at the club by adding just a bit of competition with Dro. PSG is keeping its resources for summer 2026, when the transfer window is expected to be massive according to specialists. Some exits may also need to be managed due to contract extension refusals. Continuity now, big moves later.
