Mercato: PSG prepares the exfiltration of Carlos Soler!

This winter and despite some requests from Spain, Luis Enrique refused to let Carlos Soler leave, explaining during a press conference all the good things he thought of the Spanish international, while expecting more from him on the second part of the season. “When I see a player who can play well and understand what situations you need to control, it’s very interesting. There are a lot of players who can do it in midfield. Carlos Soler is one of these players. I know everyone prefers to play a specific position. He’s a top player, I took him to the World Cup where there are 23 world-class players. He can still improve, that’s what I expect from him.”explained the Asturian.

Unfortunately for the Spanish midfielder under contract until June 2027, the miracle did not happen and the former Valencia FC player was faithful to what he has shown since his arrival in the French capital, namely that of a neutral player without impact and in total loss of confidence. The match played at the Parc des Princes against Stade de Reims last March and ended with a score of 2-2 perfectly illustrates Carlos Soler’s season. Credited with a 3 by the FM editorial team, Soler simply did not exist and was left under the bronca of the Parc des Princes. “Overwhelmed in the duel (only 1 won out of 4 contested), unable to make an impact near the two surfaces and generally ghostly against the Champenois, he once again suffered the events. On his only opportunity of the afternoon, the Spanish international (14 caps, 4 goals) provoked the rage of his coach, most certainly frustrated by the lack of bite of his protégé.explained our special correspondent at the Parc des Princes.

The player is not keen to leave, a loan could satisfy everyone

Totaling 8 goals and 8 assists in 63 matches played in all competitions, Carlos’ statistical record is not bad. But we have to put it into perspective in relation to the matches he played and their importance. And there, the results are much duller (his goal against Metz last Sunday in a match without stakes is the perfect example). From then on internally, we are campaigning very clearly to send the Spanish international to the 14 selections. Recruited for €18 million two seasons ago, it is hard to imagine a club coming and offering a sum equivalent to PSG for Soler. With a very comfortable salary (between €6 and €8 million net per year) running until June 2017, the 27-year-old is in no hurry to leave, as he can enjoy the City of Lights while being able to count on the strong Spanish contingent (Arnau Tenas, Sergio Rico, Marco Asensio and Fabian Ruiz).

There remains a solution which could satisfy all parties, a loan with partial payment of the salary, as PSG has also become accustomed to in recent seasons with its undesirables. According to our information, several have already come forward. Aston Villa recently received some information regarding the availability of PSG’s No. 28 without going any further. Villarreal, which was already there this winter, is still interested, as is Real Sociedad (currently 6th in Liga) which crossed paths with PSG in the Champions League and which has great ambitions for next season.
