You had to expect it: faced with an overflowing infirmary and an overloaded calendar, PSG is already preparing its winter transfer window. Luis Enrique knows that to go far on all tables, especially in the Champions League, he can no longer afford to leave certain positions without real alternative. Among them, that of Achraf Hakimi. The Moroccan international is essential to the Parisian project, but he has never chained the meetings so much, and the slightest physical glitch could prove to be catastrophic for collective balance.

A young Portuguese targeted to compete with Hakimi

It is in this context that Parisian leaders have launched a major project: finding a right side capable of competing and replacing Hakimi. After having favored caution last summer, being content with some targeted reinforcements, Luis Campos and Luis Enrique want to avoid a new unbalanced workforce for the second part of the season. The reflection led to a priority track in Portugal, where a young talent attracts all lusts and already arouses the interest of several major European stables.

It is Martim Fernandes, 19 -year -old naked in FC Porto. Under contract until 2030, this right side perfectly embodies the desired profile: young, promising and already endowed with a solid experience despite his age. According to PSG Inside NewsParis made him a priority target for winter. Hakimi would of course remain indisputable, but his arrival would make it possible to spare him and anticipate the future. An ambitious approach that reassures supporters, long worried about a lack of depth in the corridors.

Porto wants to keep his jewel

It remains to convince Porto. Committed to the title race in Portugal and ambitious in Europe, the Lusitanian club has no intention of separating from its young prodigy. Fernandes is perceived as a pillar of the future, and only an important offer could move the lines. PSG will therefore have to take out the checkbook to hope to make this dossier concretize in January.

This operation reflects a clear change in strategy in Paris: after minimalist off -season, the club wants to correct its errors and build a more complete workforce. Having a young foreign talent to strengthen a key sector is a daring, but necessary bet. With a busy calendar and intact European ambitions, this potential hakimi lining could be decisive in the quest for PSG titles this season.
