PSG monitoring CSKA Moscow sensation Matvey Kislyak

PSG's Luis Campos eyes a potential summer signing for CSKA Moscow sensation Matvey Kislyak following the player's stellar performances in the Russian league.

PSG have identified CSKA Moscow youngster Matvey Kislyak as their next midfield project.

According to a report by L’ร‰quipe via Foot Mercato, Paris Saint-Germain are set to enter the Russian football market again, two years after Matvei Safonov’s signing. Les Parisiens have CSKA Moscow man Kislyak in their sights this time, and his transfer could become a real possibility with football advisor Luis Campos directly working behind the scenes.

The 20-year-old Russian international has a contract with CSKA till the summer of 2029, and this gives the club leverage to negotiate a higher price for their starlet. Right now, PSG are just tracking the movements of the player and any potential interest from competitor clubs.

The Ligue 1 giants have halted contract extension talks for their own squad members until after May 30, the date of the Champions League final against Arsenal. This situation concerns the future of Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola, Senny Mayulu and Lee Kang-In. PSG have already lined up a possible replacement for the South Korean midfielder in Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche.

Gonรงalo Ramos and Lucas Chevalier could also leave the club this summer due to rotational issues under head coach Luis Enrique. These scenarios open up the ground for PSG to bet on new talent across all departments, and tracking players helps them to keep their options varied.

Kislyak has a market value of โ‚ฌ20 million, but the figure is expected to go higher when Campos’ representatives approach the Russian side. However, minimal competition is predicted as of now.
