PSG: a midfielder arrives (official)

Crowned European champion after a grand finale against Inter Milan (5-0), the Paris Saint-Germain try to come down from his little cloud. The Club World Cup arrives very quickly, in less than two weeks, and the capital's club has already launched the first phase of its recruitment.

For Luis Campos and Luis Enrique, this transfer window will still be made to measure. With a clear idea: to refine an already very well oiled workforce without jostling its balances, tactical and social.

Luis Enrique and Luis Campos, a well -established tandem.

The priority objective would be a right axial defender, ideally versatile to also be able to evolve as a right side. But Paris will also have to decide for those who stay. Regarding the team's executives, the situations of Gianluigi Donarumma and Captain Marquinhos challenge. Just like those of Gonçalo Ramos and Lee Kang-in, who will not be retained in the event of satisfactory offers. But that's not all: the Parisian board must also manage loan feedback.

Renato Sanches returns … before packing his bags

Recruited by PSG when Luis Campos arrived -which he knew in Lille -, Renato Sanches will be part of the workforce in the coming days, at least temporarily. The return of the Portuguese international is made, the Lusitanian newspaper Record recalling that Benfica Lisbon had let the time allowed to lift the purchase option included in its loan.

Paris will therefore not collect the 10 million euros in this purchase option. But a new start would be envisaged, Renato Sanches not part of Luis Enrique's plans. It remains to be seen whether it will still be done in the form of a loan, or by a dry transfer. The Portuguese contract expired in 2027.
