Luis Campos has already announced it: after the party, it’s time to work. The architect of the Parisian squad knows it, he is expected to turn the corner this summer, to regenerate a squad which has won everything despite an extended season and extreme fatigue. Luis Enrique managed to carefully manage playing time to be able to field his best team in decisive moments, but it will be difficult to reproduce this pattern another year.

Among the positions to be reinforced, that of an offensive element in the right lane. Kvaratskhelia and Barcola prefer the left side, Dembélé is now a pure axial, and only Désiré Doué, or even Kang-In Lee, remains. PSG is looking for an impactful profile on this wing, and they have obviously found the right player, in the person of Yan Diomandé. As revealed by Sky Germany last Friday, PSG was part of the list of interested clubs, even though Liverpool made the Ivorian its priority to succeed Mohamed Salah.

Diomandé OK to join PSG

And according to our information, things are progressing well for the capital club. Several meetings have already taken place with RB Leipzig, the German club where Diomandé plays, under contract until 2030. Arriving last summer from Leganés, he exceeded expectations and was even named best young player in the Bundesliga this season. With 13 goals and 9 assists in 36 matches played, he displays remarkable statistics at his age (19 years old).

Still according to our information, Yan Diomandé has given the green light to join Paris SG. A decisive step in the recruitment process, since the Ile-de-France management is waiting for the desire to be reciprocal before taking action. Diomandé would, conversely, not have been as excited by the prospect of joining Bayern Munich, who were also interested in his services. On the other hand, he is also attracted by the prospect of joining Liverpool… It remains to be seen whether PSG will manage to find an agreement with RB Leipzig, in a position of strength given the duration of the contract. Because the Ile-de-France club has no intention of overpaying any player, believing that it has a squad sufficiently stocked with talent. As for competition, it would have been reduced in the face of the complexity of the file, since there would be two different mandates on the player’s side…
