- PSG's 50% Sell-On Clause on Midfielder Could Pay Off This Summer
Permanently transferred to Fiorentina in February 2025, Cher Ndour will bring in significant transfer fees for PSG . In addition to the $11 million paid by La Viola , the percentage negotiated by the Parisians should considerably increase the bill in the event of another transfer this summer.
Luis Campos can also make mistakes. The architect of very good finds, the PSG sporting advisor was less inspired when he set his sights on Ndour. The midfielder who arrived in the summer of 2023 did not leave great memories in the French capital.

Far from the expected level, the former Benfica player never won the favor of coach Luis Enrique. Hence, his loan to Braga, then to Besiktas, was interrupted last season.
The Parisian management recalled him to finalize his permanent transfer to Fiorentina in February 2025. PSG thus collected a nice sum of $11 million, not including the bonus that could considerably increase the bill for La Viola .
The Parisian management had indeed negotiated a 50% share of the future resale of the Italian. In other words, PSG kept half of its financial rights. This now explains Fiorentina's greed.
This season, Ndour has gradually established himself at the 15th-place team in Serie A. His performances have been so satisfying that the former Parisian earned his first two caps for Italy last week.

His stock has inevitably risen, and Napoli would very much like to recruit him. Their sporting director, Giovanni Manna, inquired about his price. Fiorentina's answer: at least $33 million.
According to the Italian press, without even mentioning the potential of the Italian international, the percentage owed to PSG forces the Florence club to set a high price. It remains to be seen whether Napoli will agree to match it.
As for PSG's midfield plans, it seems that the Parisians are indeed looking for at least one reliable midfielder who can enter the rotation alongside the players usually selected by Luis Enrique. Paris Saint-Germain's starting midfield on paper is Vitinha , Joao Neves, and Fabián Ruiz .
Frenchman Warren Zaire-Emery is also part of the rotation, but the latter also rotates frequently at right-back whenever Moroccan Achraf Hakimi needs to rest.

Therefore, and especially in Ligue 1, it is very common to see players such as Kang-in Lee, Trof Hernández, and even Lucas Beraldo get minutes in the team's midfield.

With Lee's very likely departure to Atlético Madrid and the uncertainty surrounding Ruiz's long-term role, PSG appears willing to sign a reliable midfielder this summer. The latest name to be linked with the Parisian side is Mateus Fernandes of West Ham .
