When its offensive armada plays at its level, PSG is unplayable. AS Monaco, who showed up at the Parc des Princes with some certainty about their game, was shattered and left Porte d’Auteuil with 5 goals in their bag and a final score of 5-2. But if offensively everything is going well in Paris, this is not really the case in other sectors of play. In midfield, there is still a player missing (Youssouf Fofana, Kephren Thuram are appreciated), even if Fabian Ruiz has Compared quite well with Warren Zaire Emery, injured until the end of the season.
But it is rather in defense that the current leader of Ligue 1 seems the least armed. With Nuno Mendes absent for several months, we will undoubtedly have to recruit a left-back this winter, Layvin Kurzawa being almost irremediably confined to the stands. In central defense too, Paris clearly shows its limits. If this may be enough in Ligue 1, it is clearly insufficient in the Champions League where Paris clearly shows its limits behind the central hinge Skriniar-Marquinhos. The latter has not been free from reproach for several months, but nevertheless benefits from virtual immunity due to a lack of bench depth.
Leny Yoro’s profile is unanimous at PSG
Danilo Pereira too slow to evolve in defense with Milan Skriniar, Presnel Kimpembe (15 matches including tax since July 2022 and absent since February 2023) still convalescing, the Capital club must find a defensive reinforcement who will represent the future of PSG for years future. And as we revealed to you a month ago, Luis Campos found it in the person of Leny Yoro. At 18, the latter has already played more than 25 matches in Ligue 1 and has all the equipment of a modern defender. In every Ligue 1 match, Leny Yoro is disarmingly easy and strings together high-level performances with LOSC. The defensive rock, who experienced his first disappointments with the French Espoir team during the international break, returned to the championship with the Mastiffs this weekend and on the path to victory against OL (2-0).
Holder since the start of the season within the current 2nd best defender in the championship (tied with PSG), the native of Saint Maurice in Val de Marne, who has already been supervised on several occasions by the recruitment unit and will be again in December at the end of the match between LOSC and Paris, unanimously agreed within the Parisian club which has made it its priority for the winter transfer window according to our information. Paris, which is still keen to implement its project based on the recruitment of Ile-de-France talents, absolutely wants to lock in the Lille defender this winter and get ahead of European competition (Real Madrid, Bayern Munich). A six-month loan within his training club could appear as a good alternative for the northern club, currently 4th in Ligue 1, which still hopes to extend its player under contract until June 2025 with the Mastiffs. To be continued.
