The immediate need to reduce the wage bill is clear with Neymar and Mbappe's arrivals. While a few players were sold for the same purpose, a few more were loaned out to lighten the load on the club.

Amongst them, former Real Madrid attacker Jese Rodriguez to Stoke and Grzegorz Krychowiak to West Brom were the big moves. Maxwell's retirement led to further reduction in wages while Goncalo Guedes, Jonathon Ikone, Odsonne Edouard and Jean-Christophe Bahebeck were loaned out as well.

Grade - 7/10


Thus, PSG managed to put themselves back on the footballing map with their statement transfers. While most of the signings strengthen the side, the lack of depth in central midfield could potentially hurt the team this season. Barring that, this is a transfer window to remember for Les Parisiens.

Grade - 8.5/10
