PSG have been reshaping their defense with younger options like Willian Pacho, Lucas Beraldo, and Illia Zabarnyi over recent transfer windows. Even so, they may have their eye on a promising target for the future.

These players, alongside Lucas Hernandez and Marquinhos, provide enough depth for the 2025-26 season. Still, PSG may continue strengthening the backline, especially with some veteran players approaching the twilight of their careers.

Sven Botman has been linked to PSG before, mainly because of his past connection with sporting advisor Luis Campos, who had the player at LOSC Lille.
