In search of an attacking midfielder, Paris Saint-Germain would have found a solution in the event of failure on the Bernardo Silva track.
The Paris Saint-Germain transfer window is far from over. While this summer window will close in less than two weeks, the capital club should still strengthen significantly by September 1. Two sectors are called upon to move: the attack and the midfield.
The absences of Neymar and Marco Verratti have left a void in the offensive animation of the capital club, as shown in the first Ligue 1 match against Lorient a week ago (0-0). To fill it, Luis Enrique and Luis Campos are said to be in tune on the need to attract a creative midfielder by the market close. And the priority has long been identified: Bernardo Silva.
Luis Enrique has a new idea for his midfield
Still, this file will not be easy to finalize for PSG. Despite his links with Campos and the prospect of playing with his former teammate Kylian Mbappé, the Portuguese international, who has not hidden his desires elsewhere, is blocked by Manchester City. Pep Guardiola lost Kevin De Bruyne to injury, in addition to registering the departures of Ilkay Gündogan and Riyad Mahrez.
Other names began to emerge, such as Nicolò Barella (Inter Milan) or Frenkie de Jong (FC Barcelona). But as L’Équipe indicated this week, Paris will not “recruit to recruit”. Luis Enrique wants a player bringing very clear added value in this register. The French daily thus clarified that the technical staff was considering installing Lee Kang-in in this position as a midfielder. The South Korean international has shown great skills in creating, dribbling or passing.
Problem: Lee Kang-in has injured his left quadriceps and will be sidelined until the end of the next international break. Which means that the technical staff will no longer be able to get an idea of their ability to take on this role by the end of the transfer window… What change the plans of Parisian decision-makers to make a last effort in the days to come?
