Paris Saint-Germain continues to advance several issues at once and that of Zion Suzuki is now among Luis Campos’ priorities. After accelerating on Maghnes Akliouche and Mika Godts, the double European champion sent a first offer of 33 million euros to Parma to try to secure the services of the 23-year-old Japanese goalkeeper. A proposal which demonstrates the Parisian desire to quickly conclude this operation while the capital club seeks to sustainably strengthen a strategic position. The Parmesan leaders remain firm on their valuation of the player but the discussions are progressing in a climate considered positive, while Paris now has the strongest financial arguments to convince its Italian counterpart.
Long presented as a major objective for Juventus, Zion Suzuki seems to be moving closer to the Parc des Princes. The Bianconeri were the first to open discussions but their economic constraints seriously complicate the possibility of competing with the Parisian offer. For his part, the Japanese international gave his agreement in principle to join PSG, convinced by the proposed sporting project despite significant competition within the squad. Discussions continue in order to reconcile positions with Parma, where we know that the departure of the last Japanese rampart is no longer a hypothesis to be ruled out. All the signals are converging towards a favorable outcome for the French club which maintains a clear lead in this matter, at a time when the Old Lady will relaunch the Guglielmo Vicario track.
Five tracks already surveyed
According to our information, Parma is preparing for the post-Suzuki period without waiting for the final conclusion of its transfer. If the Emilian club obtained the transfer of young Giovanni Daffara from Juventus, the management absolutely does not consider this arrival as a sufficient response. The Italian goalkeeper will discover Serie A and was recruited with an understudy status in order to continue his progression without immediately experiencing all the pressure linked to the starting position. Behind him, only Edoardo Corvi currently completes the hierarchy. The Parmesan leaders therefore wish to secure this sector with a more experienced goalkeeper so as not to find themselves caught off guard if Zion Suzuki were to leave the club in the coming days, and especially if the former Juventus nugget does not convince as a starter. And in this sense, still according to our indiscretions, several avenues have already been activated by Parma with first exploratory contacts established around Devis Vásquez (AS Roma, returning from loan), Lorenzo Montipò (Hellas Verona in Serie B), Simone Scuffet (Pisa in Serie B) as well as Franco Israel.
The latter appears to be a credible opportunity since he is leaving Torino after a particularly complicated season. The Turin club has already recruited Diego Mascardi, is finalizing the arrival of Lucas Perri and is also working on the extension of veteran Alberto Paleari in order to completely lock down the goalkeeper position. In this context, a departure of Franco Israel seems more and more likely, which offers an additional solution to Parma. A coveted time, Gabriel Slonina (Chelsea), recently tested by Strasbourg, is also a track that the Gialloblu intend to relaunch. This anticipation from the Italian club also constitutes an encouraging signal for PSG, which sees its interlocutor concretely preparing the succession of Zion Suzuki. An element likely to facilitate the definitive conclusion of the operation.
