Kylian Mbappé gone, PSG will have to rethink their offensive animation. But behind it there is also a risk of a lot of movement and reinforcements are hoped for by Luis Enrique. It must be said that apart from Marquinhos and the long-term injured Lucas Hernandez, all the other defenders are likely to leave the capital this summer.
If the eternally injured Presnel Kimpembe is pushed towards the exit just like Nordi Mukiele, the cases of Danilo Pereira (not selected in the event of a good offer) and Milan Skriniar (not really appreciated internally, but who has a pharaonic salary ) are still different. Ditto for Achraf Hakimi whose status is not in question, but who could receive a concrete approach during the summer. From then on, Luis Campos decided to recruit a young defender but accustomed to European games, with significant room for improvement, versatile and capable of playing both on the right and in the center.
A serious alternative to Achraf Hakimi…
And he found the ideal profile… in the Netherlands with Feyenoord Rotterdam. According to our information, Paris is keen on Lutsharel Geertruida. At 22, this trained central defender was repositioned as a right side at the start of the season by Arne Slot. It must be said that the Dutch international has all the qualities of a modern full-back, namely speed, percussion, and an attraction to attacking play (8 goals and 5 assists in 34 league matches). Enough to have a natural counterpart to Nuno Mendes, a real alternative to Achraf Hakimi and a player capable of integrating the rotation in central defense.
Currently at the Euro, the player, who is at the end of his contract in June 2025, is focused on the competition. As for the Dutch club, they know that they will have a hard time keeping Geertruida if the PSG offensive were to materialize. But for Paris the matter is still far from over. On the shelves in recent months of Bayern Munich, RB Leizpig and Liverpool, the Batavian international (9 caps), whose value exceeds €20 million, has no shortage of interest in him. Enough to raise the stakes during the summer…
