Fresh off a historic season that saw them clinch their maiden UEFA Champions League title, Paris Saint-Germain are already embroiled in a busy summer, with participation in the inaugural FIFA Club World Cup, significant developments regarding a new stadium, and the usual flurry of transfer market activity.
The French giants achieved their long-awaited European dream on May 31, 2025, with a stunning 5-0 victory over Inter Milan in the Champions League final. The win, which marked a record margin for a final, sealed a continental treble for Luis Enrique's side, adding to their domestic Ligue 1 and Coupe de France triumphs. The victory was a culmination of years of ambition and investment, finally placing PSG at the pinnacle of European football.
The celebrations, however, were brief as the team turned its attention to the newly expanded FIFA Club World Cup currently being held in the United States. PSG are set to face Atletico Madrid later today in a highly anticipated group stage clash.
Off the pitch, the club is making headlines with its plans for a new stadium. Following their Champions League success, PSG has intensified its search for a new home, shortlisting two sites outside of Paris. This move comes after the Paris city council's refusal to sell the iconic Parc des Princes, the club's home since 1974. The club has stated that owning its stadium is crucial for its long-term growth and to compete with other European powerhouses.
The departure of superstar Kylian Mbappé to Real Madrid on a free transfer marked the end of an era but has not slowed down the club's ambitions. The summer transfer window is already buzzing with speculation. While several players are returning from loan spells, including Randal Kolo Muani and Marco Asensio, there are also rumors of potential departures for key figures such as goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma and forwards Gonçalo Ramos and Bradley Barcola. The club is also reportedly targeting several high-profile players to reinforce their treble-winning squad.
Under the guidance of coach Luis Enrique, who has been widely praised for masterminding their most successful season, PSG enters a new chapter. With a European crown finally secured, the focus now shifts to building a dynasty, both on and off the field, as they aim to solidify their status as a dominant force in world football.
