Paris St-Germain have been strengthening their playing pool over the past week, with World Cup final match-winner Ferran Torres arriving from Barcelona and 21-year-old Belgian winger Mika Godts joining from Ajax.
Godts appears set to either provide Bradley Barcola with strong competition for a starting place or be a like-for-like replacement in Luis Enrique's squad should the France depart for Liverpool.

Harsh to judge Yoro just yet. He's had injuries and when fit he's not been a consistent starter. He's still only 20 and it's very rare that a centre-back that young looks the finished article or is even starting for a Premier League side. So far so good though.

Liverpool target Bradley Barcola was left out of Paris St-Germain's squad as they were narrowly beaten by Lens in the French Super Cup.
Barcola has been linked with a move to Anfield this summer, with Liverpool reportedly prepared to pay the Champions League winners somewhere in the region of £100m for the 23-year-old.
The France forward, who has also been interesting Arsenal, was an unused substitute in his side's Super Cup win over Aston Villa on Wednesday.

Re: Jeuel (12:03), I am also a Chelsea fan and if Ayyoub Bouaddi, with no experience in a top three league, is worth £85m, then Pedro Neto probably is worth nearer £100m. Sure, Bouaddi is young with potential but Neto is the finished article.

Image source, Getty ImagesAyyoub Bouaddi would become the most expensive teenager in Premier League history, should Manchester City agree to meet Lille's reported 100m euro (£85.6m) valuation of the 18-year-old Morocco midfielder.
Manchester United paid an initial fee of £52.18m forFrance defender Leny Yoro, 18, also from Lille, in July 2024 in a deal that also included £6.73m in potential add-ons.
United were also involved in another bumper deal for a teenager, agreeing a deal that could rise up to £58m to sign France striker Anthony Martial, 19, from Monaco in September, 2015.
While Chelsea signed Belgium midfielder Romeo Lavia, 19, from Southampton for an initial £53m in September 2023 in a deal that was worth up to £58m.
However, those deals are dwarfed by the top five fees paid for teenagers in world football:
As a United fan, I believe Yoro is our future captain. I think he could be that good. Under the right manager and system, Martial could have made it in the Premier League. He was talented. Lavia, I haven’t seen enough of.
Alec, Wales
If he joins Manchester City, Ayyoub Bouaddi could become one of the most expensive teenagers in football history.
He would also be the latest big-money teenager to arrive in the Premier League, following in the footsteps of players such as Anthony Martial, Romeo Lavia and Leny Yoro.
We'll have the full list shortly. But in the meantime, can any of those three players be deemed a success?

Ayyoub Bouaddi is better at Lille. He gets regular first team minutes and is still young. He should wait a couple of years, which is hard when a big club comes calling, but it might be better for him in the future.

I'm a Chelsea fan and if we get anywhere near £100m for Neto we will undoubtedly be the greatest sellers the sport has seen. Realistically, he's a £60m player.

It's a reflection of the high fees across the transfer market, including the £117m Chelsea paid to Aston Villa for Morgan Rogers and the £145m asking price from Paris St-Germain for winger Bradley Barcola.
The Portugal international, 26, started against Real Sociedad on Saturday when others linked with moves away were completely left out.
While we're on the topic of big-money deals, it seems there could be a few more in the Premier League, both arrivals and departures, before the transfer window closes on 1 September...
Man City have spent big in recent seasons and the signing of midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi would immediately see him become one of the most expensive purchases in their history.

Bouaddi shouldn't be going to Manchester City. He won't play regularly there and could easily see his development stall. He would be better off spending a couple of years at a club where he can play every week, and then, if he still proves to be a special talent, that would be the time to make a huge move.

Grealish is still a solid option for plenty of teams, especially those in mid-table or pushing for European qualification. My issue is that he clearly needs to be playing in a central role rather than out on the wing. I really like him, and I'd rather see him back at Villa or Everton than sitting on our bench.
Harry, Manchester
If Ayyoub Bouaddi is to join Manchester City, he will hope his career at the Etihad proves more successful than that of Jack Grealish.
England international Grealish joined City from Aston Villa for a then British-record transfer fee of £100m in 2021.
It took the attacker time to settle at the Etihad. However, he was an integral part of the team that won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League in 2023.
Since then, though, Grealish's career has been on a downward trajectory and he spent last season on loan at Everton.
Although he will always be remembered by the City faithful for his contributions during the 2022/23 campaign, it is fair to say Grealish never consistently hit the heights expected of him after signing in 2021.
Bouaddi will hope he can become a more consistent performer for City.

Image source, Getty ImagesJack Grealish could be given the chance of a fresh start under a new manager at Manchester City in Enzo Maresca.
Following his substitute appearance in Sunday's Community Shield defeat to Arsenal, the Italian did say that Grealish will get games if he stays and impresses.
But it still feels more than likely he will end up leaving.
Grealish could yet return to Everton, where he spent last season on loan. The Toffees opted not to make the deal permanent for City's rumoured valuation of £50m this summer.
But with one year left on his supposed £300,000-a-week deal, and with Grealish likely to be a substitute at best, City are surely going to be open to lower offers, or even another loan move.
Could he even go back to his boyhood club Aston Villa, who are in the Champions League this season?
BBC Radio WM presenter Daz Hale said: "There is a real romance of the return of the prodigal son. You always felt it was written at some point he would come back.
"It is a Champions League season again for Villa, they need to have strength in depth with a deeper talent pool."
Or could an overseas move for Grealish hold some appeal? Several media outlets claim that Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid are looking at him.
If Rodri completes his move to Barcelona, only three of the players who started Manchester City's Champions League final victory over Inter Milan in 2023 would remain at the club.
They are Ruben Dias, Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland.
That number could dwindle further in the coming weeks, with Grealish - who spent last season on loan at Everton - continuing to be linked with a move away from the Etihad.

I don't think anyone can replace Rodri. He is in a league of his own. Man City will have to change how they play and hope that Enzo Maresca can work some magic. I can't see them paying that much for Enzo Fernandez. Maybe they will try for Martin Zubimendi.

I think it's a transition, with a new manager.
Rodri was huge in the way they played, [he controlled the] build-up and I think that's a huge loss for them.
It's obviously understanding what Maresca wants, and it's tough to understand that philosophy [so quickly].
A lot of the players have been in the World Cup as well, so they're coming late into the pre-season.
I think Ruben Dias actually said it's a bit of a transition for him after the game [3-0 defeat to Arsenal in the Community Shield]. So, if the players feel it as well, that's going to transition into the pitch.
I think they need time and then they need someone in that midfield that's dominant, knows how Man City play, builds the rhythm and connects the team.
Rodri was that for them and that's a huge loss for City [as a whole] and a huge impact on their midfield as well.
