Enter The Matrix [Full Episode]

After a long, grueling season, Paris Saint-Germain players are finally on holiday. However, the transfer market never rests, and there’s plenty of outgoing and incoming news to discuss.

Joining me on the latest Ensemble PSG Podcast is PSG fan James Carter (@its_jcj). We talk about Lucas Beraldo’s future, why PSG hasn’t signed a center-back yet, the FIFA Club World Cup final, and much more.

Up first, it’s the news that Lucas Beraldo wants out of the club as he seeks more playing time elsewhere. There’s been some contradicting reporting, but it makes sense that the 21-year-old would want to move on if he doesn’t feel the club is ready to start him over Marquinhos.

Sticking with center-back news, we turn our attention to AFC Bournemouth’s Illya Zabarnyi. The reporting suggests that Zabarnyi wants to join PSG, but the two clubs are approximately €10 million apart in their transfer fee demands. We discuss why PSG has yet to increase their bid and whether they should secure the deal before other teams get involved.

We also talk about the loss to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final, and the tournament as a whole, as James attended the match against Atletico Madrid at The Rose Bowl. Should PSG be concerned about their performance in the final, or was the win over Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid in the semi-final what they really came for?

We conclude by discussing Hugo Ekitike and Xavi Simons, two former PSG players who are reportedly heading to the Premier League, and what our expectations are for PSG with the 2025-26 season less than a month away.
