The return of Kylian Saint-Germain. This Monday, January 1, the Frenchman’s face appears on the front pages of many sports media. Indeed, from this day on, he can negotiate with the club of his choice without being accountable to PSG. But the residents of the Parc des Princes will not give up, they who hope that he will once again extend the adventure with them. But with or without him, the French champions are preparing for the future. Lucas Beraldo (20 years old) and Gabriel Moscardo (18 years old) have arrived. All that’s missing is the formalizations.

But PSG has not finished its winter shopping. At the end of last week, The Parisian revealed that the Ile-de-France leaders and Luis Enrique are seriously considering getting their hands on a left back. The late return from injury of Nuno Mendes and the uncertainties surrounding him raise questions. In addition, the Parisian coach does not want to exhaust the players he has available, in particular Lucas Hernandez who has a series of meetings. For all these reasons, the Ile-de-France residents are exploring the left-back market. They also want a versatile element, which can also play on the right.

PSG is here for Kalvin Phillips

However, the arrival of a midfielder cannot be ruled out either. Indeed, Luis Enrique also wants an experienced midfielder. This, despite the transfer of Moscardo, who is also injured and who will be absent for three months. Few names ultimately came out regarding this famous player. But this Monday, Telegraph reveals a first clue to us. Indeed, the British media, renowned for its seriousness, explains that Paris Saint-Germain is very interested in Kalvin Phillips (28 years old). THE Telegraph even indicates that the capital club is in pole position with Newcastle to recover the Manchester City player.

Dislodged from Leeds United in 2022, the Englishman has not really managed to establish himself among the Skyblues. Starting only 3 times last year (20 appearances), he played 9 matches this season (2 starts, 1 goal). Unconvinced, the Mancunians are not against selling him this winter, assures the British publication. In the race, PSG must deal with strong competition. In addition to the Magpies, who favor a loan, Juventus, Liverpool and Bayern Munich are cited as potential candidates for his arrival. PSG will therefore have to jostle to afford Kalvin Phillips.
