Nasser Al-Khelaifi is preparing to hit hard on the transfer market. The president of Paris Saint-Germain is currently negotiating with a double winner of the Ballon d'Or, an operation which could mark the history of the club of the capital. The discussions have been underway for several days and could lead to one of the biggest strokes of the transfer window.
Alexia Potellas in the viewfinder of PSG
This prestigious target is none other than Alexia Potellas, the star of FC Barcelona female. The Spanish midfielder, double golden ball 2021 and 2022, is the subject of advanced “discussions” with PSG according to what Le Figaro reports. At 31, the 2023 world champion remains one of the best players on the planet and would represent a huge prestige for Paris.
The amount of the operation promises to be colossal for women's football. Putellas' release clause would oscillate between one and five million euros, a sum which testifies to the Parisian ambition. His entourage confirms having received several offers but admits “surprised that a club decides to bet so direct” on the Catalan, under contract until 2026 with a year of option.
Putellas to PSG? The XXL blow prepared by al-Khelaïfi
A master stroke in preparation
This offensive is part of the reconstruction strategy of female PSG after the departures of Marie-Antoinette Katoto and Grace Geyoro this summer. The arrival of Olga Carmona has already marked the Parisian intentions, but Putellas would represent a higher level. Its profile fits perfectly with the European ambitions of the club, which seeks to impose itself permanently at the highest level.
If this transfer results, Putellas would become the second winner of the Ballon d'Or in the history of PSG, all teams combined, after Lionel Messi in men. A strong symbol which would testify to the evolution of the Parisian female project. It remains to convince the Barcelona to leave her hometown for a new challenge in Paris.
