Paris Saint-Germain would be ready to invest this winter to strengthen themselves in midfield.
With the injuries to Warren Zaire-Emery and Fabian Ruiz, Paris Saint-Germain must face a hellish schedule with a completely decimated midfield. Although the young French crack and the seasoned Spaniard are expected to return to the field from the first days of 2024, the Parisian sports management is said to be scanning the market to seize a good opportunity to strengthen an area considered failing by some observers.
This week, the journalist from the daily Le Parisien Dominique Sévérac focused on this issue. The latter first clarified that Paris Saint-Germain’s choices would obviously be dictated by the club’s European future. Elimination from the group stage of the Champions League would greatly affect the rest of this exercise, with a significant shortfall, even if Paris is transferred to the Europa League.

On the other hand, in the event of qualification for the round of 16 of the prestigious C1, the Parisian leaders would have ticked off a name to strengthen themselves this winter: Fabinho. At the age of 30, the Brazilian, player of Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia since last summer, would not be against a return to the Old Continent.
Former friend of Kylian Mbappé at AS Monaco, Fabinho ticks all the boxes to bring added value to PSG: experience, technical quality, maturity and sense of community. He also has the advantage of being part of the “Jorge Mendes galaxy” – a significant point given the influence of the Portuguese agent in the strategy of the capital club.
Furthermore, PSG would also monitor the situation of Youssouf Fofana very closely, again according to Dominique Sévérac. The French world vice-champion, originally from Paris, has always proclaimed his attachment to the capital’s club. His room for improvement and his upward trajectory would not leave Luis Campos indifferent.
