Present at a press conference this Friday, Paris Saint-Germain coach Christophe Galtier announced that he is not expecting a recruit during the winter transfer window, including in central defense.
Galtier is not expecting a recruit in January.
As often, Paris Saint-Germain was very active last summer with the arrival of 7 players: Nordi Mukiele, Fabian Ruiz, Renato Sanches, Vitinha, Carlos Soler, Hugo Ekitike and the definitive purchase of Nuno Mendes .
But the decor should change radically on the occasion of the winter transfer window. Indeed, a few weeks after its president Nasser Al-Khelafi, the coach of the capital club, Christophe Galtier, confided that he is not expecting any recruits at the present time, except in the event of departure.
The slightest arrival conditions a departure
I am very happy and very satisfied with the squad I have. There will be no arrival, if there is no departure warned the technician this Friday at a press conference. There are no players who have asked to move. a means that the players are good here. It’s a long time, we have to see how things evolve. Recently, L’Equipe indicated that financial fair play would limit the possibilities of PSG and would be at the origin of this turn of the screw.
Anyway, this clarification will calm the rumors around the Joao Felix files, eager to set sail for Atletico Madrid, Enzo Fernandez (Benfica), close to Chelsea, and Sofyan Amrabat (Fiorentina), the rating XXL after his impressive World Cup with Morocco. Above all, we understand that the Ligue 1 leader has given up recruiting a central defender. However, the abortive arrival of Milan Skriniar (Inter Milan) last summer has tended to be felt in recent months, especially during periods of unavailability of Presnel Kimpembe and the lack of solutions in the axis is there. one of the causes that led to the gradual abandonment of the three defense.
Galtier bets on Bitshiabu
However, Galtier is not asking for any reinforcements in this sector where he is counting on Kimpembe, Marquinhos, Sergio Ramos plus the versatile Danilo Pereira and Nordi Mukiele and the young El Chadaille Bitshiabu, in sight during the preparation and at the left side position on Wednesday against Strasbourg (2-1) in Ligue 1.
This is not topical (recruiting a central defender, editor’s note). We have a young player El Chadaille. It has enormous potential. Going for a defender at this time would be blocking his space. It is a will of the club to promote our young talents , said the technician. This does not mean that PSG have completely given up on Skriniar, who has still not extended Inter and who will be free next June…
