A year after its coronation against Inter Milan, PSG should appear against Arsenal with the same starting line-up, except at goalkeeper where Matvey Safonov will officiate in place of Gianluigi Donnarumma, who left last summer for Manchester City.
In the central hinge, Willian Pacho and Marquinhos will once again be included. The capital club did not hesitate to spend some 60 million euros to recruit Illya Zabarnyi, presented as the successor to the Parisian captain, but the Ukrainian never managed to establish himself and the European champions are still looking for a central defender capable of taking over from the former Roman.
And according to the English press, PSG would be very close to finding what they are looking for. This time, without paying a single euro for transfers. According to the Daily Mail, Ibrahima Konate, at the end of his contract in June, has in fact decided to leave Liverpool despite the Reds’ pressure to extend it on the banks of the Mersey. And the European champions would hold the rope to welcome him.
Ibrahima Konaté likes PSG
After five years at Liverpool, 183 matches, a Premier League title, an FA Cup and two Carabao Cups, the former Leipzig player, who arrived for 40 million at the Reds, inevitably arouses a lot of desire. Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have reportedly shown their interest in recent months but PSG has been more convincing. Particularly because of the void that the upcoming departure of Marquinhos, at the end of his contract in 2027, will leave.
And the international tricolor, born in 11e
district of the capital, has never hidden his penchant for PSG. “ PSG has made sure to recruit players who get along well and who play in the French team together. And even for the people and the Parisian fans, it makes them happy, it’s what they’ve been waiting for for years, to have Parisians or at least French players in the team. he confided two years ago before admitting to having already imagined himself wearing the Parisian jersey. “To say no would be to lie. » “It’s in our genes, a little bit. All my older brothers have been PSG fans since my childhood. These are Parisian genes so it’s logical,” he explained again.
