Luis Enrique has made significant transfer-related decisions regarding his squad for tonight's match against Lens in the Trophee des Champions.

Prior to kick-off, the big news emerged from the announced lineup, which closely resembled the one that faced Aston Villa in the UEFA Super Cup earlier in the week. However, notable changes appeared on the bench:

• Bradley Barcola and Ibrahim Mbaye were both included in the squad for the Super Cup but are absent today.
• Their exclusion suggests that Enrique believes both players are on the verge of departure, confirming ongoing rumors regarding their futures.

PSG seems poised to sell these attackers, with Liverpool aggressively pursuing Barcola and Mbaye linked to Aston Villa among others. Enrique is now focusing on players he can depend on both now and moving forward.

While selling these key players isn't ideal, the club appears prepared for the eventuality. New signings, including Ferran Torres and Maghnes Akliouche, have already been secured, and Mika Godts from Ajax is reportedly on the way, with potential further additions still possible.

This strategy could lead to a slower start for the Parisians, but history shows they prioritize long-term success, focusing on outcomes in May rather than September.

In other developments, the anticipated signing of Zion Suzuki from Parma fell through at the last moment, leaving PSG in search of a new goalkeeper once again.
