PSG has been on a spending spree since Qatar investors took over the club in 2011. The French giants have seen a major turnaround from a budget club to becoming one of the most ambitious clubs in Europe.
They have completed numerous mega signings from Zlatan Ibrahimović, to Neymar, and to Kylian Mbappé to improve their quality in football.
Ligue 1 and domestic cup titles have now been a regular for them as they have not faced any sort of significant challenge in the country for years. However, their spending frenzy seems set to continue in the summer as they are yet to reach their ultimate goal in claiming their first Champions League title.
Without further ado, let's take a look at 5 of PSG's biggest potential signings in the summer.
Antoine Griezmann
The World Cup-winning striker has been one of the hottest targets in the transfer market recently and, PSG could make him a priority signing if the French giants manage to lose either Kylian Mbappé or Neymar.
The 28-year-old has made an outstanding impact for Atlético Madrid, since joining from Real Sociedad 5 years ago.
He has now scored more than 90 goals for Atlético Madrid and has become one of the highest rated attackers in the La Liga last season alongside Lionel Messi. This time, however, the agile forward is set to endure a disappointing trophyless season with Atletico.
They have been knocked out from the Champions League and are on the verge of losing the La Liga title to reigning champions Barcelona.
This disappointment could be a major contributing factor in Griezmann's future. PSG would likely have to offer more than €100 million for the star, but it would not be a problem if they manage to sell either Mbappé or Neymar.
Allan Marques
The French giants have a long-standing interest with the Brazilian anchorman. Allan was reportedly very tempted to move to Paris which offered to triple his wages, only for Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis to block the transfer.
The report states that the Italian outfit wanted more than €60 million euros which PSG offered at the time and, the French giant could be back with an even bigger offer. A strong and dynamic holding midfielder with outstanding passing accuracy, Allan could easily slot as a regular at PSG.
PSG have never truly replaced Thiago Motta since the Italian retired last year. The French club have even played their center back Marquinhos as a defensive midfielder at occasions. Hence, Allan would not face any significant competitions if he joins the club.
Raphael Varane
The Real Madrid defender has recently been touted to leave elsewhere. He has still been Los Blanco's number one choice alongside Sergio Ramos at the back, but a move could be on the cards for the Frenchman due to strong interests from big clubs such as PSG and Manchester United.
Similar to Griezmann, Varane seems to be on a sinking ship now after Real Madrid had virtually no titles to fight for anymore this season. The Spanish outfit had been knocked out of the Champions League by Ajax and also from the Copa del Rey by arch-rival Barcelona. Their La Liga runs also have seemed bleak as Barcelona are on the verge of clinching the title.
Thiago Silva is on the twilight of his career. Hence, the Frenchman would easily be given a starting position by the manager if he joins the French side. PSG have still been searching for Champions League glory and, Varane's experiences in winning the European title 3 consecutive times would be a huge boost for them.
Philippe Coutinho
It is no secret that PSG have a particular fondness in Brazilian players, as they have completed the signings of Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Neymar, and Dani Alves. Now, the Ligue 1 reigning champion has been linked with the signing of Philippe Coutinho.
The former Liverpool superstar has been pretty much an outcast for Barcelona this season. Despite joining the Catalans for a record-shattering €120 million just a year ago, the star midfielder has failed to justify his massive transfer price just after a decent debut season with the La Liga outfit.
He has been played sporadically by Ernesto Valverde this season due to his poor form. Hence, PSG could serve as a perfect escape route for the unfortunate star. However, PSG might need to sell off Julian Draxler to make space for the play-making 26-year-old.
N'golo Kante
PSG have been longing for Kante's services for some time now. The anchorman has been such a revelation in the Premier League after moving from the French league to Leicester in 2015.
An avid tackler with endless energy and pinpoint passes, Kante has been touted as one of the best holding midfielders in the world of football.
He has now been adapting well into his more offensive role as a central midfielder due to Maurizio Sarri's refusal to play him in his natural position. His productivity has been significantly increased compared to last season and, any suitors should likely spend more than €100 million to acquire the star.
However, PSG have been on the need for another Thiago Motta who could offer more protection at their midfield. Everybody knows of the French giant's financial muscle, but the club would still need to sell some players to snatch Kante if they are willing to avoid FFP punishment.
