PSG midfielder Carlos Soler has been on a rollercoaster journey since his arrival in the French capital.
While his initial seasons with the club fell short of expectations, Soler’s recent loan spell at West Ham United has reignited his career.
Soler’s stint in England could mark a turning point in his professional trajectory with whispers of a permanent deal on the horizon.
West Ham, riding high in the Premier League this season, has seen Soler thrive under new circumstances. But what has led to this sudden revival in form, and could it spell the end of his time at PSG?
West Ham eyes permanent deal for Carlos Soler

According to Le Parisien, West Ham negotiated a €20 million buy option as part of Soler’s loan agreement.
After struggling to secure a foothold at PSG over two seasons, the Spaniard faced the daunting task of proving himself in the Premier League.
However, Soler quickly adapted, transforming from a peripheral figure into a key component of West Ham’s midfield. Recent reports suggest that the London club is keen to activate this clause.

Soler’s rise hasn’t been without its challenges. Despite a slow start, he has since secured five consecutive starts, surpassing Lucas Paqueta in the pecking order. And it’s no surprise, as the AS newspaper has recently described the player as a ‘beast’.
His commitment and adaptability have earned him the trust of manager Julen Lopetegui, who sees him as a vital cog in West Ham’s machine.
Despite Soler’s potential departure, PSG remains at the center of transfer speculation, including recent links to a Bournemouth defender and ongoing rumors about the club’s interest in Rayan Cherki.
How has Carlos Soler performed this season?
While Soler’s statistical output may not be extraordinary—one assist in 14 appearances—his influence on the pitch extends beyond numbers.
His pressing, passing accuracy, and ability to control the game’s tempo have made him indispensable.
Here are Soler’s statistics for the 2024/2025 season.
Competition | Matches | Goals |
Premier League | 13 | 0 |
EFL Cup | 1 | 0 |
West Ham’s satisfaction with his performances is evident, with sources noting their intent to finalize his permanent signing soon.
For PSG, this could mean parting ways with a player who no longer fits into Luis Enrique’s plans. Soler’s transfer fee, potentially matching the €17 million plus bonuses PSG paid in 2022, would be a welcome addition to their coffers.
