Paris Saint-Germain could well surprise its supporters in October by targeting a former Olympique de Marseille player. According to information relayed by Foot01, the Parisian club has set its sights on LuisSuárez, the Colombian striker who recently exploded at Sporting Portugal. PSG, who relegated their center forward Gonçalo Ramos to ACMilan and strengthened their attack with Ferran Torres, are looking for a number nine capable of leading the attack both on the pitch and in numbers.
Luis Suárez, who spent the 2022-2023 season in Marseille without really establishing himself, found his form in Almería before joining Sporting. At 28, he scored 38 goals and provided nine assists in 53 games in all competitions last year, and has already scored twelve times at the start of the season. His recent performances have attracted the interest of not only PSG but also FC Barcelona, according to Spanish media ElNacional. The player is currently under contract with Sporting until June 2030, and the club is demanding a sum of at least 80 million euros to release him.
The asking price is a major obstacle for the Parisian club, which must also consider the expectations of LuisEnrique, who already remodeled his offensive sector last summer. The lack of a true professional centre-forward has been made up for by the arrival of Torres, but the coach is now hoping for a player capable of scoring regularly and creating chances. Suárez, with his ability to dominate defenses and be decisive in the box, could meet these demands.
For the moment, no official offer has been made by PSG. The matter therefore remains at the stage of media speculation, although Suárez's statistics and the interest shown by Parisian leaders suggest that a proposal could emerge in the coming weeks. If the transfer goes through, Suárez's return to Ligue1 would mark not only a dramatic turn of events for the Parisian club but also a moment of intense rivalry with Olympique de Marseille, which would have seen its former player move to the other side of the country.
