Leader of the Ligue 1 standings and still in the Champions League race, Paris Saint-Germain remains a dominant team capable of retaining its championship and C1 titles. However, the capital club is changing the face of its team with small adjustments. Last summer, Lucas Chevalier replaced Gianluigi Donnarumma and Illia Zabarnyi came to strengthen a defense which is preparing for the end of the Marquinhos era. Reinforcements who struggle to give satisfaction since they spend most of their time on the sidelines.
Was Paris wrong in its targets? The future will tell us, but the Rouge et Bleu intend to try new bets. And again on defense. The German media specializing in Werder Bremen news, Deich Stubereveals that PSG is courting German-Ivorian defender Karim Coulibaly. The reigning European champions are said to have supervised the 18-year-old on several occasions and contacts have already been made between the French club and Coulibaly’s representatives. Note that no official offer has been made, but the media assures that a departure could be negotiated in exchange for a check of between €45 and €50 million, if Werder maintains its position. The German club and the player’s agents have also agreed to a separation next summer in the event of a good offer.
A transfer at €45-50 million
Arriving at Werder in 2024 from Hamburg, Karim Coulibaly was launched into the deep end of the Bundesliga this season. With 21 appearances on the clock, the defender is even a starter. Left-handed, Coulibaly has a profile which would make it possible to compensate for the departure of another left-hander, namely Lucas Beraldo or Lucas Hernandez. Despite Werder’s poor ranking in the Bundesliga (15th), Coulibaly is a great hope for German football. Courted by the Ivory Coast, the defender, who has played through all the youth selections (U17, U18, U19) was called up this Friday for the first time for the German Espoirs.
“Coulibaly is a left-handed defender who knows how to play the ball well. He is already very comfortable on the ball, even though he is often the youngest player on the pitch and Werder are struggling to avoid relegation. So he obviously has a lot of confidence in himself. He likes to make passes that break the opposing defense lines and even make nice crosses. Of course, his style of play and his young age lead him to make mistakes in the construction of the game, which has already led to goals for the opponent, but defensively he does well most of the time.”our colleague from Football TransfersLukas Hörster. A good defender with the ball to restart the game: no doubt, this is a profile that Luis Enrique appreciates…
