PSG’s main focus today concerns Diogo Costa. Repeatedly reported to be on PSG’s radar to take over as No. 1 ahead of Matvey Safonov, the FC Porto goalkeeper is now attracting attention from another heavyweight. According to Fichajes, Real Madrid are considering how to plan for the succession to Thibaut Courtois, whose deal runs until June 2027. With no certainty over a departure for the 34-year-old Belgian, the club are exploring the trail leading to the 27-year-old Portugal international, under contract at Porto until 2030 with a €60m clause.
Real Madrid intrigue
In Ligue 1, AC Milan also have a target. According to Matteo Moretto on X, the Lombardy club have entered the race for Raphaël Le Guen. The Brest centre-back (20) came very close to a move to Crystal Palace this summer, according to Fabrizio Romano, before the deal fell through. Staying at SB29, he has featured in five matches since the start of the season, but suffered a fractured fibula at the end of September that will sideline him for several months. His Brest contract runs until June 2029, which hasn’t stopped speculation about his future.
Milan's Le Guen pursuit
Lastly, Pierre Kalulu’s name is being linked in the Premier League. According to Tuttomercatoweb, the 26-year-old Frenchman, recently called up by Zinédine Zidane to the France squad, is on Liverpool’s list. The Reds are reportedly looking to reinforce the right side of their defence as early as this winter, unconvinced by Jeremie Frimpong. Another option would be Wesley (23), capable of playing on the right or left at AS Roma. Under contract with Juventus until 2029, Kalulu is said to be simultaneously discussing an extension with his hierarchy, while PSG remain on alert in this case.
Kalulu linked with Liverpool
For Paris, these signals outline a two-tier competitive market: top-level rivalry around Diogo Costa, and continued vigilance on Kalulu, whose contract situation is evolving. One to watch in the coming weeks.
