Another French player is the newest target for the capital club to cover the left-back void. Foot Mercato claims that FC Nantes' Quentin Merlin is being considered by the Ligue 1 team as a potential addition to the position, which currently only possesses Lucas Hernandez. Having won the Coupe de France with Nantes, Merlin has made nine appearances in Ligue 1 and provided one assist. The 21-year-old has set the price for the deal at €10 million, and he has a contract with the French team through 2026.
For a potential move, PSG has already gotten information from the player's entourage. The capital club is up against competition for the defender, though. Merlin has attracted interest from RB Leipzig and Napoli, according to Foot Mercato. In January, when the transfer market opens, PSG will need to act quickly if they believe the Frenchman is the ideal player.
