PSG have been told to raid Arsenal and Liverpool to strengthen a squad that just lifted the Champions League trophy.
Paris Saint-German enjoyed a spectacular season under Luis Enrique, finally succeeding in their quest to become European champions while continuing to dominate in Ligue 1.
Given PSG’s young and incredibly dynamic squad, areas of improvement are not obvious but Marcel Desailly has named two players he would ‘like’ to see arrive at the Parc des Princes this summer.
Football icon Desailly somewhat surprisingly believes Arsenal forward Kai Havertz should be PSG’s No. 1 transfer target, citing his versatility as the main reason he would be of use to Enrique.
Signed from Chelsea for £65m in 2023, Havertz has endured a mixed spell at the Emirates Stadium but was badly missed last season as Mikel Arteta had to deal with an injury crisis.

Havertz’s status as Arsenal’s first-choice striker looks set to end this summer as Arteta targets a new No. 9 with Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres heavily linked with moves to north London.
Desailly believes Havertz would be the ‘best transfer option’ for PSG and has also urged the Champions League holders to rescue Darwin Nunez from Liverpool.
The Uruguayan is expected to move on this summer following a largely underwhelming spell at Anfield and Desailly reckons he can revive his career in Paris.
Last month, ex-Liverpool midfielder Dietmar Hamann claimed Nunez could be the club’s ‘biggest ever transfer mistake’ after they paid up to £85m for his signature.
‘Kai Havertz the best option for PSG’
Like Arsenal, Liverpool are also interested in signing a new striker to strengthen Arne Slot’s Premier League champions and are open to offers for Nunez.
‘There are two players I’d like to see at PSG and one is Kai Havertz from Arsenal,’ France World Cup winner Desailly told Oddspedia.
‘Havertz is the best option because he can play as a midfielder but also as a point of reference up front as a striker.
‘For me Havertz would be the best signing for PSG and the other is Darwin Nunez from Liverpool.
‘Nunez is a point of reference and has great movement, he has been unlucky in front of goal but I think he’d do well in a back-up role for PSG.
‘Those are the two players I’d like to see join PSG this summer.’
While PSG look to strengthen Enrique’s squad, a number of players have been linked with moves away from the French capital.
Manchester United have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Portugal striker Goncalo Ramos while Gianluigi Donnarumma has also emerged as a target for the Red Devils.
PSG beat United to the signing of Ramos two years ago but the 23-year-old has struggled for starts since arriving from Benfica.
Donnarumma, meanwhile, has entered the final 12 months of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain and is believed to be interested in a move to the Premier League.
The 26-year-old Italian reminded fans why he is rated as one of the best goalkeepers in the world during PSG’s brilliant Champions League run.
