With the summer transfer window approaching, various attempts are underway. Real Madrid, in particular, are making moves, following a disappointing season and an upcoming presidential election. According to PSG Inside Actus, candidate Enrique Riquelme has taken action by approaching Paris Saint-Germain players: Vitinha (26-year-old midfielder), Nuno Mendes (23-year-old left-back), and Achraf Hakimi (27-year-old right-back). PSG’s response is reportedly clear.
“The Paris Saint-Germain management, led by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, reportedly reacted immediately.”
“Paris Saint-Germain recently discovered that Enrique Riquelme, a candidate for the Real Madrid presidency, was attempting to approach several PSG players without the club’s official consent. According to sources close to the matter, three key PSG players are particularly targeted: Vitinha, Nuno Mendes, and Achraf Hakimi.
All three players are considered non-transferable, and none of them want to leave.
The PSG management, led by Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, reportedly reacted immediately by issuing a very firm warning regarding these practices, deemed completely unacceptable on the eve of the final. The club reiterated that no negotiations or contact with a player under contract can be made without prior authorization.
“PSG considers this situation an attempt at destabilization.”
Internally, PSG considers this situation an attempt at destabilization before a major match of the season. Sanctions could even be considered if direct contact is made.” “With the players, it was confirmed.”
We remain cautious; there’s nothing concrete. Rumors are always rife around the transfer window, and we’re far from always getting confirmation. However, this situation is quite plausible. Real Madrid could be preparing a landmark summer to try and reignite enthusiasm within the team and around the club. It’s also an argument for a presidential candidate.
However, recruiting at PSG is far from simple. The club has managed to put its players in excellent conditions, not just financially. There’s genuine enjoyment in the daily life and in the style of play, as well as a certain established prestige.
Paris won’t let its key players slip away. And it knows how to command respect behind the scenes as well. Whether there’s a real attempt or not, the departure of Vitinha, Mendes, or Hakimi doesn’t seem to be on the agenda at all.
