With the January transfer window fast approaching, Paris Saint-Germain are expected to be big spenders in an effort to jumpstart their Champions League chances (they basically have Ligue 1 wrapped up already).
With the money to fund an absolute spending spree, PSG can afford to pursue almost anyone they want as long as the other club is willing to sell. Of course, doubling or tripling the offer has a tendency to make even the most adamant clubs willing to listen.
Here is a look at seven major PSG transfer targets for the upcoming transfer window, starting of course with one of the most desirable men in the world:

Cristiano Ronaldo
With persistent rumours that Ronaldo is ready to leave Spain, PSG seem like an even more likely destination than any single Premier League club.
Paul Pogba
PSG seem to be doing fine with Angel Di Maria as their primary midfielder, but Pogba is one of the most dominant players at his position in the world – and he’s still 22 years old.
Eden Hazard
The reigning Premier League MVP appears poised to leave Chelsea and escape the tyrannical reign of Jose Mourinho. Outside of La Liga, PSG would undoubtedly be Hazard’s best destination.
Diego Costa
As long as Chelsea is having a clearance sale on stars, why not add a scoring machine coming off four straight double-digit goal seasons?
James Wilson
With Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial getting all of the reps at Man United, the 19-year-old wonderkid hasn’t gotten any time this season. That situation could rectify itself quickly in Paris.
John Stones
The Everton defender is one of the best young backs in Europe and is wasting his youth with the Premier League underachiever. PSG could bring him in and immediately see a major improvement to the defence.
Lionel Messi
Perhaps the ultimate prize in all of sports, Messi’s recent legal troubles in Spain could open the door to his exit from Barcelona while he’s still in his prime. And with two of his Argentina teammates already in Paris, Messi could play the role of kingmaker and turn PSG into an unstoppable force in France.
