Paris FC plans big winter transfers: Is Kanté coming to Paris?

Paris FC, finally back in Ligue 1 after 46 years, is currently fighting to improve its position in the table. The club is currently in twelfth place, with three wins, five defeats and two draws since the start of the season. Despite the league's spotty recognition, plans are already in place for the upcoming transfer window to put the team on the road to success. le10sport.com reports that two significant additions are planned for winter transfer.

One focus is on the 2018 world champion, N’Golo Kanté, who is currently under contract with Al-Ittihad. His contract runs until June 2026, but the Parisians dream of a return to their roots. In addition to Kanté, the team urgently needs a dangerous striker, especially a number nine. Another promising candidate is the Belgian player Lucas Stassin, whose move did not materialize last summer.

An emotional comeback and exciting encounters

Paris FC's return to Ligue 1 was a very special moment for the fans. The emotions in the stands were indescribable when the team played their first league game. Special games are also on the program, such as this year's “Le Classique” between Paris Saint-Germain and Olympique Marseille, which will take place on September 21st for the fifth round. The first city derby between Paris FC and PSG is also scheduled for January 4, 2026 and promises to be a highlight of the season. ligue1.com has provided an exciting overview of the upcoming encounters.

Another exciting moment will be the second city derby, scheduled for May 16, 2026. There is already anticipation among the fans who will do everything they can to support their club and collect as valuable points as possible to stay in the league or qualify for the European Cup.

Market values ​​and clubs in comparison

The battle in Ligue 1 is not only tough on the pitch, but also expensive behind the scenes. Paris FC has a market value of around 102.8 million euros, which is relatively low compared to other clubs such as Paris Saint-Germain (1.15 billion euros) or Olympique Marseille (397.85 million euros). Even if Paris's ambitions are great, it still has a long way to go to compete financially against these heavyweights. transfermarkt.de provides detailed information on the market values ​​and club structure of each team in Ligue 1.

With the upcoming transfers and a committed fan scene, Paris FC definitely has the potential to cause a sensation. For the coming winter transfer period, it remains to be seen which players will actually be signed and whether the club will manage to break free from the current mid-table position. The coming weeks promise pure excitement in French football.
