A Bayern Munich member refused to commit to Paris SG during the final days of the transfer window.
The winter transfer window has just closed its doors. PSG, the most powerful club in France, only obtained one real reinforcement. To the great dismay of its owners. The Ile-de-France residents went to get Lucas Beraldo and that’s it. There was also the signing of Gabriel Moscardo, but the latter will only be operational from next season.
PSG no longer appeals?
However, the Parisian management tried to secure other arrivals. Limited in defense, the French champions sought to attract two players from Bayern. Joshua Kimmich and Matthijs De Ligt were approached for a transfer this winter.
If for the first named, Bayern vetoed it, for the second, however, it was the person himself who opposed it. Indeed, and according to what L’Equipe reports in today’s edition, the Dutch international declined Parisian requests, preferring to continue his journey in Bavaria.
However, De Ligt’s situation at the Allianz Arena is far from ideal. Coach Thomas Tuchel prefers the pair Dayot Upamecano and Kim Min-Jae. And even in the absence of the South Korean, who is away at the Asian Cup, it is the Englishman Eric Dier who is lined up in defense. The choice is surprising and the future will tell us if the former Ajax was right to say no to PSG.
