The 2025-2026 season concluded with a historic double for Paris Saint-Germain, as the club secured its second consecutive UEFA Champions League title by overcoming Arsenal in a thrilling penalty shootout (1-1, 4-3). Now, the focus shifts to the upcoming transfer window, where the Ligue 1 giants aim to bolster their squad for another assault on European dominance.
With ambitions to claim a third straight Champions League trophy, the PSG board is actively scouting reinforcements. One potential signing that has gained significant traction is Aleksey Batrakov, a dynamic 20-year-old attacking midfielder from Lokomotiv Moscow. According to his agent, Dmitry Cheltsov, the move to the French capital is all but official.
Batrakov’s imminent switch to PSG confirmed
Aleksey Batrakov’s future at Lokomotiv Moscow looks increasingly uncertain as his transfer to Paris Saint-Germain inches closer to completion. The young Russian international’s agent revealed in an exclusive interview with a Russian sports program that the deal is virtually sealed. « The time has come to confirm that, at 95%, Batrakov will be joining PSG. Discussions between the clubs have already exceeded ten calls, and Luis Campos is scheduled to fly to Moscow this week to finalize the details. Unless an unforeseen obstacle arises, this transfer will go through. The fee is set at €25 million, with an additional €5-6 million earmarked for his annual salary. »
Batrakov’s stellar performances this season have undoubtedly caught the attention of top European clubs. Playing as an offensive midfielder, he netted 17 goals and provided 13 assists in 36 appearances across all competitions for Lokomotiv Moscow. His versatility, creativity, and goal-scoring ability align perfectly with PSG’s recruitment strategy as they seek to maintain their competitive edge.
