“I don’t have my watch but the transfer window is closing its doors. Unless Luis Campos has a last-minute surprise for us, but I honestly don’t think so.” Luis Enrique looked cheerful yesterday during the press conference on the eve of the trip to Strasbourg (9 p.m. this evening, match counting for the 20th day of Ligue 1). The Spaniard was right. No one came to strengthen their squad on the gong. Hugo Ekitike left in the last hours. He was loaned with an option to buy to Eintracht Frankfurt after half a season without playing.
This last day was ultimately quite calm in Paris. Luis Campos has, however, accustomed us in recent years to attempting shots in the final moments. Just a year ago, we remember the Hakim Ziyech episode. Everything was ok for the arrival of the Moroccan but the documents had been sent too late by Chelsea. The Professional Football League finally rejected this movement. Present in Qatar yesterday morning before returning to Paris, the Portuguese sports director has not been idle either.
PSG made an offer to De Ligt
He actually took his phone to try to bring back a central defender. The Team revealed it yesterday morning in its columns. A final surprise move was planned. The technical staff has doubts after the first steps of Lucas Beraldo, who arrived for €20 million from São Paulo at the beginning of January. The 20-year-old Brazilian will probably not be ready for the next big events. Campos knows this and has tried to bring in a new element to this position. The Leny Yoro track still had priority but it was too late.
PSG didn’t even waste time calling LOSC to find out their position on their young pearl. According to The Team, it was Bayern Munich that Parisian management contacted. This time, it was not for Joshua Kimmich but for a certain Matthijs de Ligt (24 years old). The latter is a substitute at Bayern and is considering leaving next summer. Despite an offer made by the capital club, the Dutchman refused, deciding to stay in Bavaria until the end of the season. Luis Enrique will do with what he already has on hand.
