Aleksandr Golovin Backs 2 Major Transfer Targets As PSG Plan Big January Deals

Speaking to Sport Express about links to Paris Saint-Germain, Aleksandr Golovin brushed aside any doubts surrounding his compatriots. The AS Monaco star rejected the idea that they would merely be squad fillers. According to him, both players boast the required quality to fit into the squad rotation of a top side.

Developed at Lokomotiv Moscow, Aleksey Batrakov has already taken another step forward after completing a move to Galatasaray during the last off-season. Meanwhile, Matvey Kislyak continues to hone his craft with CSKA Moscow at 21 years old. Both prospects embody the future of Russian football at different stages of their respective development.

According to specialized outlets, sporting advisor Luis Campos is monitoring both targets to add depth to the Parisian squad. A combined fee of around €20 million has also been mooted to bring in both midfielders as early as January.

The midfield unit built by head coach Luis Enrique demands maximum tactical and technical intensity in every single match. Developing young talents must navigate exceptional squad depth to earn playing time in the capital. At the Parc des Princes, supporters know exactly what it takes to break into that established pecking order.

Paris Saint-Germain sit in 2nd place in Ligue 1 as of October 1, 2026, gearing up for a demanding October schedule. Paris will host Manchester City on Wednesday, October 14, 2026, before taking on FC Barcelona on Tuesday, October 20, 2026. The club must therefore prioritise reinforcements ready to make an immediate impact at the highest European level.
