Dro Fernandez arrives, boosting PSG's Champions League campaign. Discover the full squad shake-up as they face Monaco in the playoff.
UEFA confirmed on its website the new Paris Saint-Germain squad list for the remainder of the 2025/26 Champions League, both for the playoff round against Monaco and for the potential continuation of the competition should the team qualify.
After a relatively quiet winter transfer window, there are a few changes to PSG's A list, the main one being the inclusion of Dro Fernandez.
As is customary after each transfer period and the conclusion of the so-called league phase — the famed mini-championship — the list of players PSG registered for the 2025/26 Champions League has been updated for the second phase of the competition, which will begin for the club with a two-legged playoff against Monaco on Feb. 17 and Feb. 25.
UEFA allows 25 players on the A list with specific criteria, and the Parisian club, like other teams, must comply. The capital side made a few moves during the winter transfer window, and this new PSG squad list for the Champions League features 23 names, exactly as in the first half of the season.
Loaned to Lyon for the second half of the season, Noham Kamara is removed and replaced by PSG's sole winter signing, Dro Fernandez.
Paris largely did not overthink its roster for the second half of the Champions League, as the B list was not even updated by the club and still contains the same five names: Martin James (goalkeeper), David Boly, Quentin Ndjantou, Mathis Jangeal, and Noah Nsoki. Despite Ndjantou's injury, which is expected to sideline him until next season, the versatile 18-year-old forward remains on this sublist, which can be edited before each match.
PSG's official A list for the 2025/26 Champions League knockout phase:
- Goalkeepers (3): Safonov, Chevalier, Marin
- Defenders (7): Marquinhos, Zabarnyi, Hernandez, Pacho, Beraldo, Hakimi, Nuno Mendes
- Midfielders (7): Vitinha, Ruiz, Neves, Lee, Zaire-Emery, Mayulu, Dro Fernandez.
- Forwards (6): Dembele, Ramos, Kvaratskhelia, Barcola, Doue, Mbaye.
- B list: Martin James (goalkeeper), David Boly, Quentin Ndjantou, Mathis Jangeal, Noah Nsoki
In terms of the criteria by which players are classified, here is the current status of the Parisian squad:
- "Free" players (16): Safonov, Marin, Marquinhos, Zabarnyi, Hernandez, Pacho, Beraldo, Hakimi, Nuno Mendes, Vitinha, Ruiz, Neves, Lee, Dro Fernandez, Ramos, Kvaratskhelia.
- Locally trained players (4): Dembele, Barcola, Doue, Chevalier.
- Players trained at PSG (3): Zaire-Emery, Mayulu, Mbaye.
