This summer, Paris Saint-Germain wants new blood. The departure of Kylian Mbappé, who has often played at the forefront of the Parisian attack this season, will allow the cards to be reshuffled. Luis Enrique will be able to count on Gonçalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani. Recruited last summer, the two players did not impress in the capital for their first season. They will have more spaces and opportunities to express themselves next year, if of course they are still there. And a priori, this will be the case.
This, even if the residents of the Parc des Princes wish to strengthen themselves offensively. The names of Victor Osimhen (Naples), Luis Diaz (Liverpool), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United) or Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (Naples) were mentioned here and there. Footballers with different profiles and qualities, who do not necessarily play in the same positions. This Friday, a new name came out of the hat.
Mateta pleases Paris
Indeed, The Sun reveals that the French champions have checked the name of Jean-Philippe Mateta. A player that we know quite well in France since he played at Châteauroux, OL and HAC. Then he moved to Germany, where he played for Mainz before heading to England to play for Crystal Palace. Sometimes handicapped by injuries, the 26-year-old is having a good year in 2023-24 as he scored 16 goals, including 11 in 2024, and delivered 4 assists.
All in 38 appearances in all competitions, including 27 as a starter. His goalscoring qualities and his profile are visibly appreciated in Paris, which follows him closely according to the English media. But the competition is likely to be strong since the player under contract until 2026 has been linked to Bayer Leverkusen in recent months. Paris Saint-Germain knows what to expect.
