Paris Saint-Germain would have made a strong decision for 2 notable players in their squad.

All lights are green for Luis Enrique’s Paris Saint-Germain. For the past few days, the Paris Saint-Germain coach has been repeating over and over that his squad is extraordinary after a summer transfer window that he considers “perfect”. The Spaniard is satisfied with having a few headaches ahead to compose his group and his starting teams. The first concerns the prestigious Champions League. While the entry into the running of the Parisians is scheduled after this international break, 2 very strong choices would have been made by the technical staff and the club.

According to information from RMC, Marco Verratti and Hugo Ekitike are not on the list of players registered for the group stage of this 2023-24 Champions League campaign. The two cases seem quite distinct. That of Verratti obviously focuses all attention. Considered a legend of the club, the little Italian would be about to leave. He could join Qatar in the coming days, before the end of the summer transfer window in this Gulf country. His absence from the list is seen as a strong sign.

Ekitike in a delicate situation

Hugo Ekitike’s situation is different. The French striker was announced on the departure, but he did not find a way out. His choice not to join Eintracht Frankfurt would have placed him in a delicate position in relation to the club’s management, during a busy last day of the transfer window, where the arrival of Randal Kolo Muani was completed in extremis.

Navas and Kimpembe well restrained

Finally, still according to RMC Sport, Keylor Navas would be present in the list while the Costa Rican goalkeeper was placed on the transfer market. Presnel Kimpembe, whose return to the field is hoped for in the fall, would also have been registered.
