Zion Suzuki, who looked to be almost over the line as a new PSG signing, will instead move to Aston Villa after the transfer to Paris collapsed.

PSG had a good week in the transfer market – they wrapped up the deal to sign Ferran Torres, and seem just a matter of hours away from securing Mika Godts too. But there has been a setback in the last 24 hours – the deal to sign goalkeeper Zion Suzuki from Parma has collapsed over the player’s representatives’ demands, and Aston Villa have swooped in to sign him up. The Athletic are calling it a done deal already. PSG move on from Suzuki at last minute after agent demands It’s frustrating for PSG fans to get so close to a new player then miss out – but at this stage there is a lot of faith in the club’s hierarchy to get things right. If they think Suzuki’s camp is asking for silly money, and that it’s a bad sign for the future, you’d struggle to not back their judgement. PSG’s plan for Suzuki always seemed a little muddled anyway – they were apparently going to sign him and then loan him to Juventus. That would have been good for his development, but wouldn’t have solved the team’s current weakness in goal. It now seems likely Matvey Safonov continues as number one, with last summer’s addition Lucas Chevalier staying as backup and trying once again to prove himself. It’s not an ideal situation – but Safonov proved good enough to win a Champions League last year. In other news… Godts is still coming – we expect his announcement imminently.
