While the rumors continue as the winter transfer window approaches, PSG should nevertheless remain very wise.
PSG was particularly active during the summer transfer window. While Lionel Messi, Neymar, Sergio Ramos and Marco Verratti were pushed out, around ten reinforcements arrived in the capital including Lucas Hernandez, Ousmane Dembélé, Randal Kolo Muani, Manuel Ugarte, Milan Skriniar, Bradley Barcola and Kang-in Lee . And for many observers, Luis Campos and his teams have been working on new arrivals for several weeks.
Two sectors would be concerned: the left flank of the defense, where Lucas Hernandez most often had to help out in the absence of Nuno Mendes and where Nordi Mukiele also plays the firefighter on duty when the former Munich player must be repositioned in the central hinge, and the midfield, where the French champions appear somewhat limited with only Manuel Ugarte, Warren Zaire-Emery, Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz. Some names have already been put forward, such as Rayan Aït-Nouri, very popular with Parisian recruiters.
But according to L’Equipe, PSG should be very wise this winter. If departures are to be expected, including that of Hugo Etikite, who has become persona non grata with the Rouge et Bleu, the Parisians will only recruit in the event of a huge opportunity. In the left lane, if Nuno Mendes is not expected to return for several weeks, Presnel Kimpembe is close to returning to competition and will greatly relieve Luis Enrique. And in the midfield, the strong showing of Fabian Ruiz, who seemed to be pushed out last summer, also offers new perspectives to the Parisian staff.
