Diogo Leite, a 26-year-old Portuguese central defender with Union Berlin, is on the radar of Paris Saint-Germain, according to Foot Mercato. PSG, in search of reinforcements for their midfield, are interested in this efficient left-back, whose contractual situation and affordable price (€13m) make him an attractive target for the capital club.
“An attractive target in view of his contractual situation”.
“According to our latest information, the club de la capitale is considering a certain Diogo Leite, currently playing for Union Berlin. A left-sided central defender, the 26-year-old Portuguese – who is also being followed by Bayer Leverkusen – is one of the players targeted by the Parisian sports management.
Both PSG and Bayer have already expressed an interest in the player, as have other Premier League and Serie A clubs. An attractive target in view of the contractual situation of the player, who is under contract until June 2026 with Union Berlin, and affordable in financial terms, since the German club has set his starting price at around 13 million euros. “
Diogo Leite’s excellent value for money is intriguing. Having enjoyed a remarkable season at Union Berlin, where he was voted the club’s best player, Leite (26) has established himself as one of the Bundesliga’s most successful left-sided central defenders.
That said, PSG already has several left-handed central defenders (Willian Pacho, Lucas Beraldo, Presnel Kimpembe, Lucas Hernandez), making competition for a starting berth fierce. Competition from Bayer Leverkusen and English and Italian clubs could complicate matters, but the opportunity to recruit such a complete player at this price remains rare on the current market.
