Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly identified Sassuolo centre-back Jay Idzes as a possible addition to their defence, in what would be a striking target for the two-time reigning European champions. TuttoMercatoWeb, relaying a report from Indonesian outlet TribunWow.com, claim the Ligue 1 side have their eye on the 26-year-old, a link said to be encouraged by PSG’s growing interest in the Indonesian market, where Idzes is the country’s most prominent footballing figure. Jay Idzes weighing a leap from Sassuolo to PSG Idzes, who captains Indonesia, arrived in Italy with Venezia in the summer of 2023 and won promotion to Serie A in his first season. He moved to Sassuolo last August and became a defensive mainstay for them, starting 35 of their league fixtures as they secured survival. A switch to the Parc des Princes would mark an enormous step up for a player only two years into his top-flight career. It is worth stressing that the report originates in the Indonesian press rather than from either club, and the interest is framed even at source as an unlikely one, so this sits firmly in the speculative bracket for now.
