Attributed to original sourceIn another surprising twist after Juventus talks fell apart, now it’s claimed Paris Saint-Germain have decided not to buy Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki either.
The plan had been for PSG to purchase the Japan international at over €30m and then loan him out to the Bianconeri for this season.

They were ready to exchange documents and schedule the medical today when his agents reportedly made a last-minute additional request, which infuriated the Ligue 1 giants.
Now Paris Saint-Germain have withdrawn entirely and seem to have no intention of changing their minds.
It now gives Juventus a window to pursue Suzuki directly, although that might be difficult with the costs involved.
Instead, Aston Villa may well go after him, which in turn could allow Emiliano Martinez to come to Juventus.

What happened
Zion Suzuki, the highly-rated Japanese goalkeeper, has been effectively abandoned by Paris Saint-Germain, who have moved on from the transfer pursuit. The 22-year-old is reportedly furious with his agent for the failed negotiations and the way the process was handled. Juventus, who had previously shown interest, now appear to have a fresh opportunity to sign the goalkeeper, with negotiations potentially reopening. The situation reflects the chaotic nature of Suzuki's transfer saga this window and could see him land at the Allianz Stadium if talks progress.
Chance analysis
Suzuki's PSG breakdown removes a key suitor and concentrates the market, making Juventus the clear frontrunner for his signature. Goalkeeper depth is a known area of concern for Juventus, and adding a young, athletic Japanese international would address both present and future needs. The reported friction with his agent could weaken Suzuki's negotiating position, potentially benefiting Juventus on fee and contract terms. If the deal materializes, it would be a positive squad addition but not a transformative one given the current depth chart.
PSG offload a stalled target with minimal impact; Juventus gain a potential goalkeeper reinforcement if they re-engage.
Monitor Suzuki-Juventus negotiations closely; if completed, Juventus gain a young GK option with long-term upside at likely favorable terms.
