While PSG wants to be particularly ambitious for this summer, Parisian leaders are reportedly looking in particular towards Barça.
A page is about to turn at PSG. And what a page… After seven years in Paris, Kylian Mbappé will leave the Rouge et Bleu. At the end of his contract next June, the Bondynois has decided to leave. A departure that Parisian leaders nevertheless expected, who intend to respond spectacularly. The next summer transfer window promises to be intense for the French champions.
Because the departure of its star striker will not only compensate at the forefront. The capital club’s staff wishes to take advantage of the salary savings to strengthen each line with a major player. Many names are circulating, particularly in midfield where Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle), Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich) or Gavi (FC Barcelona) have been mentioned in recent weeks.
Big competition from the Premier League
But to believe Sport, PSG would be eyeing another Barça player. Luis Campos and his teams would also have checked the name of Frenkie de Jong. The about-face of the Dutch international, very close to joining Paris when leaving Ajax Amsterdam in the summer of 2019, is forgotten and the Catalan player is high on the short list of the Ile-de-France club. And all the more so since the Batavian community has not been satisfied with its fate for several months.
The file nevertheless promises to be complex for the capital club. Firstly because of the competition from England, where Tottenham and Manchester United have made it one of their priorities. But also because the Catalan leaders, if they are not completely closed to the idea of letting their players leave, intend to ask for more than the 60 million euros envisaged by PSG.
