PSG’s transfer window continues with serious investments being made to strengthen Luis Enrique’s squad. But Luis Campos is also doublespeak when it comes to extending Presnel Kimpembe’s contract.
PSG announces one recruit per day since the signing of Luis Enrique, and this has the gift of reassuring the supporters, who wondered if their team was going to keep its very dull face from the end of last season. A revival is hoped for, as with each new financial year, while waiting to find out if this will its fruit. But for the moment, PSG have already officially spent more than 150 million euros, with the 60 ME for Manuel Ugarte, the purchase option exercised for Hugo Ekitike at 28.5 ME, the arrival of Lee Kang- In for 22 ME and the signing this Sunday of Lucas Hernandez for 40 ME. Other recruits will arrive to increase the bill, but Luis Campos still has a sacred envelope at his disposal, knowing that he had already dropped more than 100 million euros last summer to bring in Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, Carlos Soler, Renato Sanchez or Nordi Mukiele.

Despite these big expenses, Paris SG seeks to make it known that it has limited means to spend on the transfer market, as well as on discussions for extensions. It is in any case the speech held by Luis Campos with the new representatives of Presnel Kimpembe. The latter, currently injured and coming out of an almost white season, hopes to continue his adventure in Paris in the long term. But according to L’Equipe, if the discussions are courteous, no agreement is reached. The international defender is already in the top 10 of the club’s salaries, and the Portuguese leader swears that a big contract would put the capital club in trouble with UEFA’s financial fair play. If no departure is planned for this summer, Kimpembe has a contract running until June 2024, and the situation could therefore become tense soon if the speech remains the same on the side of PSG. It is up to the world champion defender to also show that, despite competition from Skriniar, Hernandez and Marquinhos, he has the means to return to his best level to deserve an extension and financial efforts from his training club.
