Paris FC moved into the early summer market on May 22 by confirming the departures of four first-team players, according to a transfer roundup published by Foot National. The exits involved Timothée Kolodziejczak, Rémy Riou, Pierre-Yves Hamel and Julien Lopez, all listed as leaving the club as teams began shaping squads ahead of the next window. Foot National said the four had all been part of Paris FC's promotion-winning group one year earlier. Toulouse and Auxerre were also part of the same day’s transfer activity, with Toulouse announcing Ismaïl Diallo and Auxerre formalizing Paul Joly’s exit. ### Which Paris FC players were listed as leaving? Foot National's May 23 report said Paris FC had officially confirmed the departures of Kolodziejczak, Riou, Hamel and Lopez on Friday, May 22. The outlet described the exits as expected departures and grouped them together as part of the club's first recorded summer moves. (foot-national.com) Julien Lopez was one of the most established names in that group. Paris FC said when it extended his contract on July 14, 2025, that Lopez had been at the club since 2017 and ranked as the third most-capped player in club history with 256 appearances. Timothée Kolodziejczak and Rémy Riou had both also signed one-year extensions in July 2025. Paris FC said Kolodziejczak, a central defender who arrived in 2023, had extended through 2026, while Riou, then 37, also signed through June 2026.

Paris FC's official site on May 24 was carrying ticketing and end-of-season coverage but did not prominently display a separate release naming the four departures on its home page. (parisfc.fr) The club was already promoting its 2026-2027 season-ticket campaign and recent end-of-season events at Jean Bouin. The absence of a prominently surfaced club statement on the homepage means the clearest public list of the four exits available in search results came from Foot National's transfer roundup. (parisfc.fr) That report named each outgoing player and dated the moves to May 22. (parisfc.fr) ### Who was Toulouse's first confirmed arrival? Toulouse listed "Ismaïl Diallo s’engage avec le Toulouse Football Club" among the lead items on its official website on May 24. Foot National's transfer table identified the move as Diallo joining Toulouse from Dijon. The Toulouse homepage did not, in the search excerpt available, give contract length or fee details. It did show Diallo's signing alongside other club news and the appointment of Jens Berthel Askou as coach. (foot-national.com) ### What did Auxerre say about Paul Joly? Auxerre published a club item titled "Merci Paulo !" on May 22 confirming the end of Paul Joly's time at the club. AJA said Joly had joined from Amiens in 2020, made 85 first-team appearances and helped the club win promotion to the top flight in 2022 and 2024. (toulousefc.com) The Auxerre statement added that Joly had been loaned with an option to buy before the move was made permanent. (toulousefc.com) Foot National's transfer roundup listed the destination as Kaiserslautern in Germany. ### What comes next in this stretch of the market? June 15 is the date Foot National said the summer transfer window will officially open, even as clubs have already begun announcing departures and arrivals. (aja.fr) Paris FC is also pushing its 2026-2027 subscription campaign, while Toulouse and Auxerre continue to post roster updates on their official sites. (foot-national.com)
