It’s a fairly quiet transfer window for Paris at the moment. As the first day of Ligue 1 approaches, the Parisians have only signed one player: Matvey Safonov. Although it is true that João Neves should also quickly become, officially, a new player for the capital club. A fairly quiet summer market therefore, especially since many recruits were expected in the offensive sector, where a certain Kylian Mbappé still needs to be replaced. PSG is still in the running for Désiré Doué (Stade Rennais), but has seen how other options like Nico Williams (Athletic) or Victor Osimhen (Naples) have become complicated.
In any case, Luis Enrique still seems to be calling for reinforcements at his management. For his second season at the head of the team, the Spaniard will definitely be keen to do better than in the 23/24 season, particularly on the European stage. According to information from The Jugones Beach Barthe Asturian tactician asked his leaders to recruit a fellow European champion at the start of the summer.
A complex operation
Luis Enrique would like to count on Aymeric Laporte, the 30-year-old central defender who shone at the Euro. PSG has clearly taken into account the requests of its coach and is indeed interested in the Al-Nassr player, who has been announced as returning to Europe since the start of the transfer window. Luis Enrique wants to strengthen his defense, and the player’s experience and his qualities as a defender seem to fit perfectly with the style of LuchoAtletico Madrid, Real Madrid and his training club, Athletic Club, are all interested, to varying degrees.
However, in this case, Al-Nassr does not intend to give any gifts, neither to its player, nor to the clubs that wish to offer him. The Saudi club logically does not need money, and the player has been looking for a few days for an agreement with the management to be released from his contract, making a cross on 48 million euros in the process. But it is complicated, and it is very likely that the teams that want to recruit him will ultimately have to make an offer to Al-Nassr. PSG therefore knows what it has to do…
