Paris Saint-Germain finally announced a long-awaited signing this week, but with the Ligue 1 season just a week away, there's still business to be done in the final month of the summer transfer window.
On this episode of PSG Talking, I'm joined by Ethan from PSG Fan Club Boise to discuss João Neves's arrival, Xavi Simons's departure, a Bundesliga defender rumor, and whether there will be any August surprises.
First, we react to PSG finally announcing Neves. The deal dragged out for weeks, and in the end, PSG will pay Benfica a total package of €70 million, plus Renato Sanches. We discuss how he will fit in the squad and how he will improve PSG's midfield.
Next, we talk about the potential arrival of Willian Pacho from Eintracht Frankfurt. All summer, PSG has tried to strengthen its defense to no avail. From all reports, Pacho has agreed to terms with PSG and could be announced in the coming days. We discuss his rise through the ranks and whether he'll be an immediate starter.
In terms of outgoing players, we finally got an answer to summer's biggest question, "Where will Xavi Simons play next season." After a series of cryptic posts on social media, Simons returned to RB Leipzig for another season on loan with no obligation to buy. We discuss why the Netherlands international refused to return to PSG and whether it's a risk to loan him again for another season.
Finally, we look ahead to potential transfers and departures in August, including whether PSG will make a big move for a superstar player.
