While Paris Saint-Germain will play for survival against Manchester City this Wednesday evening at the Parc des Princes during the 7th day of the Champions League, the transfer window continues to be in full swing in Parisian daily life. After having secured the arrival with great fanfare of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, the management of PSG is accelerating its downsizing operation. Unfortunately, several imbroglios have delayed the objectives set. As we told you exclusively, all parties had agreed on the paid loan without purchase option of Randal Kolo Muani at Juventus. The player's medical examination was successfully completed, but the transaction was finally put on hold – PSG having already reached its quota of players loaned abroad limited to six (Xavi Simons at Leipzig, Carlos Soler at West Ham, Nordi Mukiele at Bayer Leverkusen, Renato Sanches at Benfica, Cher Ndour at Besiktas and Juan Bernat at Villarreal). While the rule authorized seven players to be loaned last season to other countries, FIFA finally lowered this instruction to six items as of July 1, 2024.

At the same time, according to our information, PSG is actively working on other departures. Juan Bernat, Carlos Soler and Renato Sanches should not remain Paris Saint-Germain players for very long. However, according to our indiscretions. Nordi Mukiele and Xavi Simons, mentioned as possible future departures, are more complex files and should not leave the Parisian club this winter. As for Marco Asensio, the management of the residents of the Parc des Princes continues to sound out interested clubs to try to find a base for the former Real Madrid player, who is on the shelves of Juventus, Real Sociedad, Real Betis, Mallorca, Villarreal, Aston Villa but especially Galatasaray. It is therefore Cher Ndour who should unblock the situation linked to Randal Kolo Muani. Loaned to Besiktas last summer, Cher Ndour could remove a big thorn in the side of the Parisians during this winter transfer window. Currently in the colors of Besiktas, the native of Brescia could be transferred this winter.

The domino long awaited by PSG

This weekend, we revealed to you exclusively, several Italian clubs were starting to position themselves. Bolgone, one of the first Italian clubs to come forward for information this winter, is still interested in the profile of the Italian midfielder. According to our information, the Emilia-Romagna club is still in pole position and has made an offer. However, according to our indiscretions, Fiorentina has joined the dance in recent hours and hopes to lose priority. This does not appear to be so simple, because Torino, who had simply taken information, intends to accelerate and be very aggressive in the race for the signature of Cher Ndour. With the probable failure of the Cesare Casadei file (which is approaching Lazio), the Turin club now wants to set its sights on the Parisian midfielder, while Samuele Ricci should leave next summer.

In this broad Italian competition, Parma, for its part, observed the player last November and remains a possible option. Udinese also approached the player's entourage at the end of December, but have not followed up since. According to our indiscretions, the 20-year-old player is prioritizing more than ever a departure for Italy to catch the eye of Luciano Spalletti who wants to highlight local players in the Nazionale. This season, Cher Ndour has played 12 times for Besiktas in the league with a total of one goal and two assists provided. The former Benfica nugget also has eight appearances in the Europa League with the Istanbul club. In any case, the departure of Cher Ndour to Italy is almost confirmed and all this should quickly unlock the departure of Randal Kolo Muani to Juventus in the form of a dry loan without purchase option, while Milan Skriniar is also leaving on loan to Fenerbahçe.
