Paris Saint-Germain thought they were experiencing a calm transfer window. The residents of the Parc des Princes had completed the arrivals of Lucas Beraldo, who came to compensate for the long-term absence of Presnel Kimpembe, and Gabriel Moscardo. But the French champions had bad luck at the start of 2024. Indeed, Moscardo announced his injury on December 31. PSG did not question his transfer, but did not officially announce it while the 18-year-old will be absent for three months. Another midfielder, a little more experienced, could therefore arrive during the month of January.
Luis Campos and his teams will also have to find an additional central defender following the injury to Milan Skriniar. The latter underwent successful surgery yesterday and will miss several months of competition. To replace him, PSG is already on the lookout to find the rare pearl. According to our information, the capital club is also looking towards AS Roma where a certain Diego Llorente plays. Aged 30, the Spaniard linked to Leeds until 2026 has been on loan to the Giallorossi since January 2023. Under the orders of José Mourinho, the former resident of Real Sociedad has started 16 times in Serie A this season.
Paris also tried Upamecano
However, the Special One would not be against the idea of ​​parting with it this winter. In addition, it should be remembered that Llorente is an element that Luis Enrique knows well since the PSG coach had him under his command when he was the boss of La Roja. The Parisian coach has also validated his profile. In any case, this is the hottest track of the moment, although we can also tell you that another, sexier option has been studied. The residents of the Parc des Princes had checked the name of Dayot Upamecano and had even approached the Frenchman born in 98. But this trail leading to the Bayern Munich defender is very complicated. Like Joshua Kimmich, who was also contacted by Paris in January, a departure from Dayot Upamecano this winter is almost impossible.
Indeed, Bayern Munich, which has problems in this sector of the game and which also wants to recruit an additional player this winter, will not let go of its player. A very complicated file for Paris Saint-Germain. Luis Campos therefore chose to fall back on Diego Llorente. What is certain is that the French team is working behind the scenes to offer Luis Enrique a defensive recruit as quickly as possible, since very important deadlines are coming up soon with the Champions League. Moreover, the Portuguese would also be well advanced in recruiting a right defender capable of replacing Nordi Mukiele if the latter were to leave.
