The victory in Nantes (2-1) was good last weekend for Paris FC, especially against a direct competitor for maintenance. It was the first success since November 1st in Monaco, which means it was time to get going again. Paris FC can breathe and is already seeing the effects of the transfer window. At La Beaujoire, it was new recruit Lucas Koleosho who scored the winning goal, while Marshall Munetsi also made his first appearance.
This transfer market is not quite over for the promoted player. Two priority files have still not been completed. First there is the attacker position. After Sidiki Chérif, Edin Dzeko (who has since signed for Schalke 04) and Mathys Tel, it is Neal Maupay’s turn to be courted. According to our latest information, discussions are progressing well, despite the interest of Spanish clubs like Sevilla. We still need to conclude and in particular resolve the question of salary and transfer compensation with OM.
Diego Coppola close to PFC
At the same time, the PFC is moving forward with the arrival of a central defender. A few days ago, the trail leading to Mujaid Sadick was activated. This has a release clause of €8 million at Genk, far from being unaffordable for the Parisian club and its solid means. Good point also, the 25-year-old player wants to experience a new challenge, even if his current contract runs until 2028. He is not the only one cited to strengthen Stéphane Gilli’s squad.
According to Matteo Moretto, transfer window specialist for MarcaDiego Coppola (22 years old) would even be on the verge of joining Paris FC. The contacts established in recent hours with Brighton are positive. The Ile-de-France management wants to move quickly and is wary of the competition. She sees a real market opportunity there. Arriving at the Seagulls this summer for €11 million from Hellas Verona, the Italian plays little (9 matches in all competitions, 542 minutes) and needs to get back on track.
Lacking playing time at Brighton
Unknown in France, the central defender has an interesting CV in his country. He revealed himself last season in Serie A, to the point of being one of the best elements in his position. Coppola was rewarded with his first two caps with the Squadra Azzurra in June 2025, and preferred to join England rather than Juventus or AC Milan. This is not specified by the journalist from Marca but it is probably a dry loan of six months, time for the player to find playing time in Ligue 1, and why not be on the list for the World Cup, if Italy qualifies.
