Paris FC is approaching its second season in Ligue 1 with a budget of 50 million euros dedicated to the summer transfer window, according to L’Équipe. After an eleventh-place finish in its return to the top flight in 2025-2026, the club owned by the Arnault family is targeting four to five signings to take a step forward.

The stated priority is the arrival of a young striker. The name of Matthis Abline, 23, is circulating insistently, but FC Nantes is demanding 40 million euros for their attacker — a sum deemed excessive by the Paris direction. Negotiations therefore appear to be at an impasse at this stage.

In parallel, the club is working to retain three players on loan this season: defender Diego Coppola, midfielder Marshall Munetsi and winger Luca Koleosho. The combined purchase option for this trio is estimated at 20 million euros, which would itself represent a significant portion of the available budget.

On the departures side, Paris FC wishes to part ways with Mathieu Cafaro and Vincent Marchetti, among other players set to leave the club this summer.

The stated sporting objective for 2026-2027 is a place between 6th and 10th in Ligue 1, representing a significant step forward compared to the previous season.
