Paris Saint-Germain is busy behind the scenes for its summer transfer window. Unlike last year when the capital club started its recruitment campaign without knowing the name of its new coach. This year, Luis Enrique is indeed there and he intends to have his say in this 2024 summer transfer window. That’s good, the Spaniard gets along rather well with the man who serves as his sporting director, Luis Campos.
Today, we revealed to you that the Rouge et Bleu wanted to strengthen their defense with Bayer Leverkusen center Edmond Tapsoba. PSG met with the player’s agent and the Tapsoba clan would not be against the idea of a move to Ligue 1, even if the German club will not want to see all of its heroes leave en masse this summer. In addition to defense, the midfield is also a sector of play that the Rouge et Bleu want to strengthen. Behind the untouchables Vitinha and Warren Zaire-Emery, Fabian Ruiz retains credit, but behind him, it is more complicated for Manuel Ugarte, Cher Ndour or Carlos Soler.
PSG is still looking into Portugal
A declared fan of Vitinha, will Luis Enrique strengthen his midfield with another pocket midfielder? According to RMC Sport, the Spaniard’s priority is João Neves (1.74, 66 kg). Aged 19, the native of Tavira is the new nugget trained by Benfica. Having become a starter in the team coached by Roger Schmidt this season (3 goals, 2 assists in 55 matches), Neves was called up to play Euro 2024 with the Seleção das Quinas. The young Lusitanian is also among the 100 nominated for Golden Boy 2024. Already announced in the Parisian viewfinder, Neves is also very courted by Manchester United.
The matter will therefore not be simple for Parisians. In addition to the competition from the Red Devils, the price demanded by the Aguias is also very high. The Lisbonites simply want at least €100 million for their young talent whose contract ends in 2028. To hope to lower the score, Paris is counting on its good relations with the SLB (purchase of Gonçalo Ramos, loans of Julian Draxler and by Juan Bernat) and especially on those between Luis Campos and the influential Jorge Mendes. To be continued.
