The 2024-2025 winter mercato has arrived (throughout January), so the rumors surrounding Paris Saint-Germain are piling up. Today, Djamel assures us that PSG still have a real target after the forthcoming recruitment of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (23-year-old striker from Napoli and Georgia).
“John Duran will not be joining PSG this winter, even though he is highly regarded by some within the club. As announced at the beginning of November, no recruitment is planned for this winter in the number 9 position, even after the departure of Randal Kolo Muani. Management remain attentive to this position, but a possible reinforcement is rather envisaged for this summer.
-No 9 this winter -A winger -Defensive reinforcement ”
We remain cautious, as the mercato can quickly change and move when there are so many parameters to take into account. But this is a relatively reliable account, and the big dream of recruiting a 9 seems to have come from the media.
The latter have been slow to accept that coach Luis Enrique likes to use a false 9 and that if he wants to rely on a “striker”, Gonçalo Ramos (23) has returned from injury. Of course, PSG may see opportunities, but there’s nothing obvious about such a move.
The recruitment of a defender seems a little more logical, especially with the departure of Milan Skriniar (29) looming. This is the winter mercato, so we have to be very intelligent and efficient. Now, we have to wait for certainties, and everything always depends on opportunities.
