Contrary to its usual practice, PSG is moving forward calmly in its summer transfer window, gradually changing its squad at the cost of tens of millions of euros. While goalkeeper Matvey Safonov (25 years old) has signed for five seasons in a transfer estimated at nearly €20 million, João Neves arrived in Paris a few days ago for a check for €60 million, and the Ecuadorian surprise from Eintracht Frankfurt, William Pacho, has signed with PSG for a check for €40 million, Paris is entering the final stretch with the main objective of recruiting Stade Rennais nugget Désiré Doué. The latter, who has just given his preference to the reigning French champion, should quickly arrive in the Olympic city.
By August 30, a surprise or two could come to fill the ranks of the team coached by Luis Enrique. Among them, there is a long-standing one. A certain Lutsharel Geertruida. As a reminder, the Dutch international right defender, seen at Euro 2024 in Germany with the Netherlands, has been holding an offer from Luis Campos since June. But since then, no more sound, nor image from PSG, who were very busy on the files mentioned above. The probable contract extension of Achraf Hakimi in Paris as well as the uncertainty surrounding Nordi Mukiele have put the Geertruida file on standby on the Parisian side.
Aston Villa go on the offensive for Lutsharel Geertruida
But with less than three weeks to go before the end of the summer transfer window, the Dutch right-back from Feyenoord Rotterdam has no time to wait. If he was interested in the idea of joining PSG, the lure of the Premier League is just as much for the 24-year-old player who has resumed the Eredivisie championship with the 2nd of the last championship. According to our information, Aston Villa is pushing to recruit him. The Villans, who will participate in the Champions League under the orders of Unai Emery, must replace Diego Carlos who is leaving for Fulham and have made the Dutchman their priority.
Already very active in the transfer window, Villa’s management intends to offer the most competitive squad possible to their Spanish coach, who would be delighted to be able to count on the reinforcement of Lutsharel Geertruida, whose value is estimated at €32 million. Not enough to scare the Birmingham team, which has already spent more than €176 million this summer. Not good news for PSG, who could see a preferred summer target slip through their fingers… To be continued.
