It’s already been almost a week since the 2024 winter transfer window opened. PSG was quick to move since on January 1, it announced with great fanfare the arrival of Lucas Beraldo. The left-handed central defender arrives from São Paulo for a check for €20 million. His debut was also crowned with success since after 20 big minutes played against Toulouse on Wednesday, he has already won his first trophy.
There is still a midfielder to find. It will be Gabriel Moscardo but the latter injured his foot and must have an operation and observe a three-month rest. He will not be available immediately but this physical setback does not call into question this transfer. Even the president of Corinthians has already confirmed the news for around €18 million. Problem, the capital club is looking for a player in the midfield available immediately.
A budget of €60 million
The Kalvin Phillips track has been mentioned and still seems relevant even if it does not appear to be a priority. In recent hours, it is mainly the Bruno Guimarães file that has been opened. The Brazilian would even be the winter priority of the Rouge et Bleu, he who knows Ligue 1 perfectly having evolved and shone at Olympique Lyonnais between 2020 and 2022. The Brazilian press even confirmed this possibility but the price will have to be paid.
The 26-year-old has a €115m clause in his contract with Newcastle which would be payable in three installments. This would suit PSG well but this amount appears very high, even for Parisian finances. According to The Team, the leader of Ligue 1 has a transfer window of €60 million for this winter. The transfer of Beraldo has already cut a part but there is also the possibility of selling and reducing the wage bill.
