Maxim De Cuyper, 24-year-old left-back for Belgium and Club Brugge, has been a target for Paris Saint-Germain this summer, despite having extended his contract in August until 2028. PSG Inside Actus reports that PSG are not giving up on the next move, and that an offer could be on the way. Another Belgian league talent is being targeted: Konstantinos Karétsas (17-year-old attacking midfielder for KRC Genk and Greece).
“Paris Saint-Germain, always on the lookout for young European talent, is keeping a close eye on two promising players: Konstantínos Karétsas of KRC Genk and Maxim De Cuyper of Club Brugge.
According to my information, the Parisian club has recently stepped up its interest, particularly in Maxim De Cuyper, and a concrete offer could be forthcoming in the next few weeks. While Karetsas is being closely monitored, Maxim De Cuyper represents a much more advanced dossier.”
It’s not impossible to believe some of the infirmations, with a media outlet that has already seen the light and some interesting players and the announcement of a Luis Campos in Belgium last weekend for the clubs concerned here in particular. De Cuyper is the most “obvious”. He has been mentioned for some time in the sights of some of Europe’s top clubs, and it’s quite possible that some of them will make a move this summer.
PSG are one of them, as they can bolster their defense. In any case, he fits in with the idea of a team full of youth and hungry for victory. Not to mention his versatility, since he’s just as capable of playing higher up the pitch.
But be warned, nothing is certain yet. We’ll have to wait and see. Many things are possible. De Cuyper could go to other clubs, or even not leave Brugge. While PSG probably has other leads.
As for Karétsas, this is the first time he’s been mentioned in the Parisian sights. It’s too early to be sure. All we can say is that there may be an opportunity for a talented player to attract interest. But it may not be followed up.
