PSG: The reasons for Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s cold anger

PSG President Nasser Al-Khelaifi was particularly pissed off on the last day of the transfer window.

Who said that Nasser Al-Khelaifi did not follow the transfer window files of his Parisian club too much? No, the Qatari leader is indeed involved in everything that directly or indirectly affects PSG. And he doesn’t like it when events don’t match the plans that have been made.

Ekitiké, a destiny à la Ben Arfa?

Friday evening, on the occasion of the Deadline Day of the transfer window, NAK was seriously annoyed. The reason ? Randal Kolo Muani’s initial failed transfer. While it was announced as almost complete, the arrival of the international tricolor could very well have collapsed. As he returned from Nice, the club boss had to put in his own to speed things up. But, he would have done well without this intervention.

According to journalist Saber Desfrages, Al-Khelaifi’s anger is mainly directed towards Hugo Ekitiké. The latter refused to be used as a bargaining chip as Frankfurt sought a replacement for the France international. Paris did everything to exfiltrate him to the Commerzbank Arena but without success. Now he would even consider putting it in the loft and not using it anymore. A bit like it was the case with Hatem Ben Arfa in the past.

Ekitiké did not move, but his decision can be understood. First because he was not necessarily attracted to the Bundesliga. He was ready for a change of scenery but only for the English Premier League. In addition, the former Reims did not want to leave when he saw his salary reduced. He receives 600,000 euros per month in Paris and his buyer had to match this price. Which was not the case in Frankfurt.
