Luis Enrique keeps an eye on the winger market
PSG wants to sign a top-level winger in January.
The PSG continues to work in search of a replacement for Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who will miss the rest of the season due to an injury. The Parisian club wants to make a splash in the winter transfer market with a big-name signing.
Coach Luis Enrique considers it essential to add a key player for decisive nights in Europe, as he does not fully trust internal alternatives like Maghnes Akliouche, Mika Godts, or Ferran Torres to take on that leading role, positioning three specific names on the agenda of sporting advisor Luis Campos: Luis Díaz, Ibrahim Maza, and Estêvão.
Luis Díaz: proven experience and dependence on Bayern's movements
Colombian international winger Luis Díaz, at 29 years, stands out as one of the most attractive immediate performance alternatives for the Paris coaching staff. Before suffering a muscle injury against Arsenal on October 21 —from which he is already in the final stages of recovery with the ball after the November break—, the attacker had accumulated five goals and one assist in 11 official matches with FC Bayern Munich.
However, his acquisition presents a significant contractual complexity: he arrived in Germany in the summer of 2025 from Liverpool for around 75 million euros and has a contract until June 2029.
According to Sky Germany, the Bavarian management is closely monitoring young Polish winger from Porto Oskar Pietuszewski (18 years old with a release clause of 60 million), but they project him as a future reinforcement for the summer of 2027, so they will not facilitate the Colombian's exit in the middle of the season without an irresistible financial proposal.
Ibrahim Maza: the Leverkusen talent dreaming of the Parc des Princes
The second path leads to the Bundesliga with Algerian international attacking midfielder Ibrahim Maza, aged 20 years, a player for Bayer Leverkusen. With four goals and three assists in 12 matches during the start of the 2026/27 season, his ability to associate play and unbalance in the final third attracts the attention of analysts in Paris.
Although the player publicly admitted on November 4 in RTL and Sky Sport Germany that wearing the PSG jersey is one of his great professional goals alongside Real Madrid, Barcelona, or Arsenal, the French media RMC Sport warns that the French club has not planned to launch a formal offensive in January. Moreover, Leverkusen considers him a cornerstone of their project and is working to extend his current contract beyond June 2030.
Estêvão: the loan formula under Chelsea's three conditions
The most viable alternative for immediate execution in the winter market is Brazilian international winger Estêvão, aged 19 years, owned by Chelsea FC. According to information revealed by TEAMtalk, Luis Enrique and Luis Campos support his arrival to provide width and internal game due to his lack of continuity at Stamford Bridge.
Since the London club invested 45 million euros in his signing from Palmeiras in July 2025, they have secured him until June 2033 and value his potential at 80 million euros, Chelsea rules out a permanent sale but agrees to negotiate a six-month loan subject to three non-negotiable demands:
-Pure loan: Without any clauses or options to buy at the end of the season.
-Salary coverage: Paris Saint-Germain must cover 100% of the Brazilian attacker's salary during the semester.
-Participation guarantee: Commitment to ensure that the player gets regular competitive minutes before returning to London.
The board of directors of Paris Saint-Germain will hold evaluation meetings with Luis Enrique and Luis Campos during the first weeks of December 2026 after the return from the Intercontinental Cup. Once the financial margin and the real availability of each target are defined, the French club will activate priority negotiations to finalize their offensive reinforcement at the beginning of January 2027.
