This is the new trendy soap opera at PSG. While the arrival of Victor Osimhen becomes more and more hypothetical, the capital club is moving forward on other files, notably that of a certain Nico Williams. For a few days, the management has made one of the revelations of the last Euro one of its targets to strengthen the left side of its attack, now orphaned by Kylian Mbappé. The Spaniard ticks all the boxes: fast, dribbling, creative, scorer, young, but already at the highest level. And all for “only” €58 million, the amount of his release clause.
As Luis Campos had a good nose, the first contacts took place well before the coronation of the Roja in Germany, in case the arrival of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia had been complicated to complete. This proved to be premonitory since over the course of these first weeks of the transfer window, the name of the Georgian disappeared. All that remains is to convince Nico Williams and beat the competition embodied mainly by FC Barcelona. The Blaugranas have less financial surface to act but have other arguments such as a more competitive Liga and an association with Lamine Yamal.
PSG’s offer is much higher than Barça’s
If Barça were still in the lead a few days ago, this is no longer really the case. Their forcing and unscrupulous methods, including Joan Laporta’s statements in the media, have considerably exasperated Athletic. The Basque club wants to keep their player under contract until 2027, but all these elements suggest that they would welcome a transfer elsewhere than to Barça if the winger really wanted to leave. The Catalans sense the wind changing and can really worry. According to SportPSG has made its offer to the new European champion.
Quite a few arguments are put in the balance, such as Luis Enrique’s wish to have him with him. Luis Campos presented this project to him, also establishing contacts with his entourage, notably Felix Tainta, his representative. It was after these discussions that the Portuguese manager was able to formulate a first particularly attractive financial proposal. The salary envisaged is double that authorized for FC Barcelona. Inevitably, there is something to make the 22-year-old player think. He is spoiled for choice.
