Paris Saint-Germain have focused on bringing in young, promising talent in recent transfer windows. However, Luis Enrique and Luis Campos understand the importance of adding experienced players to the squad, provided they fit the culture and system they’re building.
The club could strengthen their defense, especially with Milan Skriniar likely leaving permanently this summer after his move to Fenerbahçe SK in the winter transfer window.
Instead of making a big-money signing, PSG might consider a short-term deal with a free agent they’ve already faced. Virgil van Dijk is set to be out of contract at the end of the season, and reports suggest he’s on PSG’s radar.
Anfield Watch reported that the French side is targeting Liverpool’s captain.The offeron the table includes €80 million over two years, with the possibility of a third season in Paris, plus a substantial signing bonusthat brings the total to €100 million.
However, this information is now being debunked.

On Tuesday, ESPN’sJulien Laurens reported that no deal is imminent between the two sides despite avideo circulating on social media last week showing the Liverpool skipper with Campos.
“There is nothing between PSG and Virgil Van Dijk,” Laurens wrote on X. “No talks, no negotiations, no 100m signing on fee offer. Nothing.
“Virgil had a chat with Luis Campos and Nasser Al Khelaifi after the Champions League second leg and it wasn’t about his future but about the two games they played.”
