The daily Le Parisien returns this week to the very hectic transfer window of Paris Saint-Germain.
By securing the services of Randal Kolo Muani in the final moments of the summer transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain struck a major blow. Luis Enrique will indeed have the possibility of aligning an attack line which could be that of the France team in the years to come. Kolo Muani meets his friends from the selection Kylian Mbappé and Ousmane Dembélé in Paris.
If Paris Saint-Germain has been praised for its judicious transfer window, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi and Luis Campos also had to endure a few refusals, during a particularly turbulent summer behind the scenes. The name of Antoine Griezmann was mentioned before the close of this transfer window. Just like that of Marcus Thuram, a little earlier. But these two French internationals declined the Parisian proposals.
Why Thuram refused PSG
The daily Le Parisien returns this week to the underside of the Thuram file, specifying that the son of the 1998 world champion Lilian Thuram had been very close to signing up with the French champions. The guarantee of having significant playing time would be a parameter which would have tipped the balance in favor of Inter Milan, confirming that the former Borussia Mönchengladbach player did not wish to take any risk, one year from Euro 2024. As a reminder, Marcus Thuram scored his first goal for the France A team this Thursday against Ireland (2-0).
