The Paris side enjoyed a remarkable campaign under Luis Enrique last season, sealing a historic treble that included their first-ever UEFA Champions League crown.
Having finally conquered Europe, PSG are now determined to remain among the continent’s elite and are already planning for another title challenge next term.
Their current focus is on reaching yet another Champions League final in 2026. PSG are set to face Bayern Munich in the semi-finals, with the first leg scheduled for April 28 at Parc des Princes before the return clash in Munich on May 6.

PSG ready to sign Arsenal defender Gabriel
According to SportsBoom via GMS, the French giants have made Gabriel one of their leading defensive priorities for the upcoming transfer window.
PSG are said to be ready to use their financial strength in a bid to secure the Brazilian centre-back’s signature.
It is claimed the club have put together a salary package specifically designed to make turning them down extremely difficult.
SportsBoom also suggests the 2025 Champions League winners have reserved a virtually unrestricted transfer budget to complete the deal.
Gabriel has developed into one of Europe’s most reliable defenders since arriving at Arsenal and has become a cornerstone of the side under Mikel Arteta.
Arsenal face fight to keep Gabriel
Meanwhile, PSG are not the only club monitoring Gabriel’s situation. According to the Hard Tackle, Real Madrid have also been linked with the defender and were reportedly interested during the January transfer window.
However, Arsenal are believed to have dismissed any approach immediately, with Mikel Arteta's side not ready to lose one of the world's finest defenders.
Gabriel’s partnership with William Saliba is widely viewed as one of the strongest centre-back pairings in the Premier League.
His dominance in the air, danger from set-pieces, composure in possession, and leadership qualities make him invaluable to the Gunners.
While transfer speculation grows, Arsenal remain focused on the Premier League title race. Manchester City currently lead the standings on 70 points with 66 goals scored, leaving Arsenal under pressure to respond.
The Gunners face Newcastle United on Saturday, knowing that only victory will keep their hopes alive as the season reaches its climax.
Premier League title tie-breakers explained
In an earlier report, YEN.com.gh noted that Arsenal and Manchester City remain locked in a gripping Premier League title race, with only points and goal difference separating the two sides.
Should they end the season level on the main measures, the championship would then be settled by goals scored or even head-to-head results, where City currently hold a narrow edge.
