Despite a more than successful season in all respects, Paris Saint-Germain saw its rating drop slightly after the heavy defeat conceded against Chelsea, in the final of the Club World Cup (3-0). Beyond the controversies after the final whistle, forcing Nasser Al-Khelaïfi to get involved , the Parisian club also seemed exhausted by this long, historic, but trying season. And with the next season in mind, PSG decided to take a new measure on the transfer window to remain competitive.
In today's edition, L'Équipe claims that the debacle at MetLife Stadium has convinced PSG of a need to renew itself, not only due to the accumulation of matches, but also to review the competition. Thus, several priorities for the transfer window have changed. First, the main priority remains central defense. In this sense, the case of Ilya Zabarny (Bournemouth) is not yet closed . But the health of Presnel Kimpembe and the playing time of Lucas Hernández would also push for recruitment.
A Joshua Kimmich profile targeted
Another question is that of the full-backs. After their exceptional season, Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi will need a break. While they have shown excellent physical ability this season, the two Parisian full-backs were often replaced by Joao Neves, Warren Zaïre-Emery, and Senny Mayulu. And with the uncertainty surrounding Nordi Mukiele, back on loan from Bayer Leverkusen, Paris would like to find a viable solution to fill these positions, given that only David Boly (16 years old) is available in this position.
Another area is midfield. While Luis Enrique has found his central hub with Vitinha, João Neves, and Fabian Ruiz, the rotation with Warren Zaïre-Emery and Senny Mayulu, whom the Parisian coaching staff praises, remains thin. Paris management would like to install an experienced player, like Joshua Kimmich, with a different profile from the regulars. Finally, while waiting for possible departures in attack, Luis Campos remains on the lookout and is reportedly still in contact with Victor Osimhen and Rafael Leão. The summer could ultimately be quite lively for Paris.
