Last summer, Paris Saint-Germain had a discreet transfer window by recruiting only three new players. First, Lucas Chevalier left LOSC to replace Gianluigi Donnarumma in the Parisian goal, in exchange for a check for 55 million euros. Then, Illya Zabarnyi came to strengthen the central hinge from AFC Bournemouth for 66 million euros.

Finally, the last, much less known than the other two, the 19-year-old goalkeeper Renato Marin, arrived free at the end of his contract with AS Roma. In an interview for The Teamthose close to Renato Marin have also reconsidered his choice to commit to the French champion: “He chose PSG because it is currently the biggest club in the world.”

“A profile we like”

Within the capital club, the recruitment of the young Italian is considered a godsend given his potential.
“It’s recruitment for the future, a great opportunity. Maybe you’ll figure it out later. We took the best player in the world at his position and at his age. And what’s more, he was free…”we slip internally.
If he has not yet played a single minute with the PSG A team, the child from São Paulo has already caught the eye of coach Luis Enrique. “ Renato Marin? I’m very happy to have him on the team. He is one of the youngest goalkeepers, but he has a lot of quality with a profile that we like. He has physical and technical quality, I like the way he trains. For the moment, he will play with the U23 team “, explained the Asturian.
