For two years, Paris Saint-Germain has changed its strategy. Completed sumptuous expenses to attract world stars. From now on, if Paris has to take out the checkbook, it is to attract the best talents in the making. It is in this perspective that João Neves (19, € 70 million), Willian Pacho (22 years, 40 M €), Gonçalo Ramos (23 years, 65 M €) or Désiré Doué (19, 50 M €) were enlisted. And it's not over. The Red and Blue still have several sectors of playing to strengthen and the defense is one of them. If the side of the lateral deserves many reinforcements, the reigning French champions also want to prepare for the post-Marquinhos.
The Parisian captain is 30 years old and still has three years of contract (2028). But Luis Enrique has often repeated it at a press conference: he does not want tauliers who rest on their laurels and wants to impose competition at all times in order to push his players to outdo himself. And Marquinhos is no exception to the rule. Besides Bild We learn that PSG would have flashed on one of the defense of the defense of Borussia Dortmund. His name? Nico Schlotterbeck. “The performances he recently shown in international matches against Italy (1/4 final of the League of Nations, Editor's note), but also in the semi-final of the Champions League last year against the French, impressed the bosses of PSG”writes the German newspaper.
Liverpool is also on the spot
The 25 -year -old big guy of 1.91m has been evolving among the Marsupiaux since 2022. Arrived at the Yellow and Black from Friborg, and especially in exchange for a check for € 20 million, Schlotterberg has qualities of defender of balloon, very appreciated by Luis Enrique. “Schlotterbeck is a very offensive central defender who has great capacity to build the game. He is always involved in the attack and likes to play vertical and risky balloons. He therefore needs a defender by his side who only takes care of the defense and who covers his rear. Schlotterbeck showed his versatility against Italy: he can play in a central role in a defense of four (usually in Dortmund), in a three-time defense (during the 3-3 draw against Italy) or, as an alternative, as a left side (during the first leg against Italy). He often takes risks in his tackles and plays a rough defense, which can also become a problem. He has already received two red cards this season “explains our colleague from Fussball TransfersDominik Sandler.
On paper, the Schlotterbeck track seems to stick to the Parisian designs. In addition, the main interested party had entrusted at the start of the season that he would not be insensitive to a challenge abroad. “”At one point, I would probably be tempted to go abroad, but I have been here for two years now and I have identified myself so much at the BVB that I am really excited to play my third season here, and probably the fourth and the fifth too.Will an approach in Paris seduce it? Bild However, adds that Liverpool is also on the ranks (for the after-year Dijk) and that the BVB does not intend to be done. To convince him to stay, the marsupials could entrust him with the captain's armband and offer him an extension with a good salary revaluation. And if this does not work, the BVB will hope to negotiate a sale of up to € 70 million for its German international (20 capes). Case to follow.
