Paris Saint-Germain have reached an agreement with Parma to sign Japan goalkeeper Zion Suzuki in a deal worth €35m overall, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
Romano reported on X: “Paris Saint-Germain have reached an agreement with Parma to sign Zion Suzuki… the deal is done.”
The move is being viewed as a long-term investment by the French club, with Suzuki expected to join for the future rather than immediately become a regular first-choice player. The 23-year-old goalkeeper is set to leave Parma after the two clubs settled the terms of the transfer during the current summer window.
Romano added: “The Japanese goalkeeper joins for the future in a deal worth €35m in total.”
Paris Saint-Germain are now considering sending Suzuki out on loan so that he can play regularly. The club believes regular competitive football could be an important part of his development after his move from Parma.
Juventus are currently regarded as the leading contenders to secure a loan deal for the goalkeeper. Romano said a decision is expected soon, although the final outcome has not yet been confirmed.
The agreement therefore involves more than simply completing Suzuki’s transfer to Paris Saint-Germain. The French club are also examining the best immediate pathway for him, with a temporary move potentially allowing him to gain consistent playing time rather than remain without a regular role.
The total value of the agreement is €35m, although the source article does not provide a breakdown of the transfer fee or any additional terms. It also does not state the length of Suzuki’s proposed contract with Paris Saint-Germain.
Suzuki’s arrival would give Paris Saint-Germain a young Japanese goalkeeper whose next stage could take place away from the club if the loan plan is approved. Juventus have emerged as the main possibility for that move, but any agreement between the Italian club and Paris Saint-Germain remains to be finalised.
Romano’s update confirms that the central part of the operation has already been completed: Paris Saint-Germain and Parma have agreed on Suzuki’s transfer. The remaining question is whether the goalkeeper will stay in France or move temporarily to Juventus in order to play on a more regular basis.
The deal represents a significant piece of business for Paris Saint-Germain in the summer transfer market, while Parma are set to lose Suzuki after agreeing a €35m package with the French side. Further clarity on the goalkeeper’s immediate destination is expected shortly, with Juventus currently the most prominent candidate for a loan move.
