VIDEO. Ekitike, Vitinha, Sanches … the successful transfer window of PSG

by time news

Delusions of grandeur are over. No more glitter, stars, overpaid players to serve only as “sparring-partner”.

This year, the PSG of Christophe Galtier seems to have found the reason. The goal of PSG this summer was to slim down the group. As a result, 26 players left the capital.

Among the notable departures, the young Xavi Simmons, the legend Angel Di Maria, Leandro Paredes or even Thilo Kehrer. To the great dismay of sports director Luis Campos and Christophe Galtier, PSG only managed to “get rid” of certain players in the form of a loan (with an option to buy for the most part). But “to buy, you have to sell”, proclaimed the coach at a press conference this Friday.

For the first time in 5 years and the recruitment of Kylian Mbappé, PSG went to draw in Ligue 1. With the young hopeful Hugo Ekitike from Reims, or the former Lille resident Renato Sanches who came to find his former coach with who he won the title of champion of France with Lille in 2020.

Regarding the other arrivals, the Portuguese Vitinha has already burst the screen during the first meetings. Nordi Mukiele has arrived to strengthen the defense, and the two Spanish internationals Fabian Ruiz and Carlos Soler (last Parisian recruit), are added to the list of PSG midfielders.

Despite everything, Paris ends the transfer window on a bad note with the non-arrival of the Slovak Milan Škriniar. Despite the efforts of Nasser al-Khelaïfi, who invested himself in the negotiations, Inter Milan refused to let their central defender go. At the end of the contract at the end of the season, he could join the Parc des Princes in the winter transfer window… or next season.
