The Paris Saint-Germain summer transfer window is accelerating on two very distinct fronts. On one hand, Parisian officials have engaged in concrete discussions with Parma for Japanese international goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, one of the revelations of the 2026 World Cup. On the other hand, French striker Martin Terrier, lacking playing time at Bayer Leverkusen, appears close to a return to Stade Rennais, the club where he left an indelible mark between 2020 and 2024.
Suzuki, Paris's Japanese gamble
Zion Suzuki, 23, comes off a standout season in Serie A and a convincing 2026 World Cup with Japan, where his reflex saves caught the eye.
Zion Suzuki, 23, comes off a standout season in Serie A and a convincing 2026 World Cup with Japan, where his reflex saves caught the eye. Trained at Urawa Red Diamonds, having passed through Sint-Truiden in Belgium before landing at Parma, this 1.90-meter goalkeeper combines elastic agility with polished footwork. Two qualities that match the profile sought by Luis Enrique, who demands his goalkeepers actively participate in building play from the back.
According to Sky Italia, confirmed by RMC Sport and Le Figaro in the final days of July, initial contacts between PSG and the Emilian club have indeed taken place. Paris is considering a two-step formula: an immediate purchase of the player, under contract with Parma until 2028, followed by an additional season-long loan in Italy. The objective is clear: secure a rising talent without rushing him onto the Parisian bench. The Japanese international, who already has fourteen caps, needs to string together matches to continue his progression.
Juventus Turin is also monitoring the situation, which could accelerate Paris's maneuver. The goalkeeper position is identified as a priority project of the transfer window: Lucas Chevalier, the starter, has a high market value, and Gianluigi Donnarumma, out of contract next summer, has still not extended. Suzuki would represent a future solution coupled with a marketing asset in the Japanese market, which PSG has been methodically cultivating for several seasons.
Terrier, the return to his roots
At 29, Martin Terrier is experiencing a disappointing German adventure. Arriving at Leverkusen in the summer of 2024 after three sparkling seasons at Rennes — including a 2021-2022 campaign finished with 21 goals in Ligue 1 — the left winger has never regained his brilliance in the Bundesliga. Recurring muscle injuries and fierce competition in Bayer's attacking sector have confined him to a secondary role. In two seasons across the Rhine, he has played only 28 league matches.
Stade Rennais, his beloved club, has positioned itself to bring him back. According to Onze Mondial and several consistent cross-references, discussions between the two clubs are well advanced. Olympique de Marseille and LOSC have also shown interest, but the player would favor a return to Brittany, where his family has remained. The transfer fee has not leaked, but Bayer, which bought him for 22 million euros, should not stand in the way of a reduced-price departure.
For Rennes, the operation is appealing: the Breton club, in the midst of offensive restructuring after several departures, would recover a player who knows the house and the championship perfectly, with no adaptation period. For Terrier, one year before the 2027 World Cup, it is the promise of a concrete relaunch in a Ligue 1 he masters and under the orders of a coach who propelled him to the top. The ball is now in the court of the Breton officials to conclude what increasingly looks like a summer saga with a happy ending.
