The PSG squad 2026/27 is the deepest and, in places, the youngest Luis Enrique has worked with in Paris. The back-to-back Champions League holders spent the summer replacing three senior forwards, handing out a fistful of new numbers and trusting an academy that keeps producing. Here is the full first-team list, the squad numbers as they stand, and what changed over the summer.
PSG squad 2026/27: the full first-team list
Squad numbers were confirmed on 15 August 2026. The transfer window does not shut until 1 September, so a late arrival or departure could still nudge one or two of these.
Goalkeepers
- 16 — Alessandro Longoni
- 30 — Lucas Chevalier
- 39 — Matvey Safonov
Chevalier is the established number one, with Safonov the experienced alternative and Longoni, a free signing this summer, added as cover. It is a lean three-man group by modern standards, which is partly why the academy keepers have been pulled into senior travelling parties so often over the past 18 months.
Defenders
- 2 — Achraf Hakimi
- 4 — Lucas Beraldo
- 5 — Marquinhos (captain)
- 6 — Illia Zabarnyi
- 12 — Lucas Digne
- 21 — Lucas Hernandez
- 25 — Nuno Mendes
- 51 — Willian Pacho
Eight defenders, three of them named Lucas, and a pair of wing-backs in Hakimi and Nuno Mendes who remain the engine of everything Paris do in wide areas. Marquinhos wears the armband; Hakimi is one of three vice-captains alongside Vitinha and Ousmane Dembélé. Digne’s return from Aston Villa for a reported €7m gives Luis Enrique a genuine left-sided understudy for the first time in a while, which matters in a season with a FIFA Intercontinental Cup final bolted onto it in December.
Midfielders
- 8 — Fabián Ruiz
- 11 — Maghnes Akliouche
- 17 — Vitinha
- 24 — Senny Mayulu
- 27 — Dro Fernández
- 33 — Warren Zaïre-Emery
- 87 — João Neves
This is the part of the squad that won two European Cups. Vitinha, João Neves and Fabián Ruiz are the spine, Zaïre-Emery is still only 20 despite having been around forever, and Mayulu and Dro Fernández represent the next wave. The interesting addition is Akliouche, signed from Monaco for €50m and given the number 11 — a shirt that tends to go to a player the club expects to be central to the project rather than a squad filler.
Forwards
- 7 — Khvicha Kvaratskhelia
- 9 — Ferran Torres
- 10 — Ousmane Dembélé
- 14 — Désiré Doué
- 22 — Mika Godts
- 29 — Bradley Barcola
- 47 — Quentin Ndjantou
- 49 — Ibrahim Mbaye
Dembélé in the 10, Kvaratskhelia in the 7 and Ferran Torres inheriting the 9 from a departed centre-forward. Doué at 14 is the one to watch if you have not been paying attention to Ligue 1: he collected two Champions League winners’ medals before his 22nd birthday. Ndjantou and Mbaye are academy graduates who have already been handed senior squad places rather than being parked in the reserves.
Who joined Paris this summer
Five additions, three of them significant money:
- Maghnes Akliouche from Monaco — €50m
- Ferran Torres from Barcelona — €48.5m
- Mika Godts from Ajax — around €45m
- Lucas Digne from Aston Villa — around €7m
- Alessandro Longoni — free transfer
Torres arriving from Barcelona has an extra layer to it now that Thursday’s draw sent the Catalans to the Parc des Princes in the league phase. We have the full list of PSG’s Champions League opponents if you want to see the rest of the schedule, and the draw itself was covered in detail by Get French Football News.
Who left — and why the numbers changed
Three senior forwards went out of the door, which is why the attacking numbers look so different from last season:
- Gonçalo Ramos to AC Milan — €74m
- Randal Kolo Muani to Juventus, permanently — €38m
- Lee Kang-in to Atlético Madrid — €35m
Add several youth and loan exits — Gabriel Moscardo, Renato Marin and Ismaël El Hannach among them — and this is a squad that has been genuinely pruned, not merely topped up. Bradley Barcola’s situation is the outstanding one: he is still listed at 29, but a reported agreement with Liverpool would make him the biggest sale in the club’s history if it is completed before the window closes.
What the squad is being asked to do
Rather a lot. Paris are defending a Ligue 1 title, defending the Champions League as back-to-back holders, and have a FIFA Intercontinental Cup final on 16 December 2026. They have already won the 2026 UEFA Super Cup, beating Aston Villa 2-1, and lost the Trophée des Champions 1-0 to Lens. The league campaign opened with a 2-2 draw away at Rennes.
That fixture load is the whole argument for a squad built this way: two credible options in almost every position, four or five academy players ready to fill in, and a manager who has never been sentimental about rotation. Luis Enrique has been in charge since July 2023 and has won the European Cup in each of the last two seasons. Whatever the 2026/27 squad list looks like on 2 September, the principle behind it will not have changed.
