Anticipation is often the key to a successful transfer window. Luis Campos could rub his hands by completing the arrival of two Brazilians, defender Lucas Beraldo and midfielder Gabriel Moscardo, even before the winter market opened. But, first bad news, the second must go through the operation box, and has therefore not been made official as a new PSG player. A first hiccup which did not change the face of the Parisian transfer window. On the other hand, the sequence of events turns things upside down.

The PSG sports advisor thought he had done what was necessary by recruiting Beraldo to cover the long absence of Presnel Kimpembe. But how can we anticipate Milan Skriniar’s injury against Toulouse during the Champions Trophy? Absent for 3 to 4 months, the Slovak will miss important PSG deadlines, forcing the leaders to recruit another central defender. But that’s not all. A second imponderable factor has arisen. As announced by The Teamand as we can confirm to you, Bayern Munich absolutely wants to recruit Nordi Mukiele in January.

PSG forced to recruit two players!
The versatile defender, capable of playing on the right and in the center (but who also helped out on the left), is highly appreciated by Thomas Tuchel, who already wanted to recruit him when he was at Chelsea. Bayern is pushing hard to recruit the 26-year-old defender, recruited a year and a half ago from RB Leipzig. PSG will only agree if they have found a replacement. Which adds a second defensive purchase to be made by January 31! Luis Campos has already worked on several tracks in recent days. The name of Kevin Danso was mentioned. According to our information, there was indeed an approach, in an indirect way, but RC Lens made it known that its defender was not transferable. The northern club had already been able to resist numerous advances during the summer transfer window.

PSG has several names in mind, files already worked on in the past which could be activated in January. We think, for example, of Leny Yoro, the great hope of LOSC, or Jean-Clair Todibo, of OGC Nice, courted by the elite of English football. Luis Campos is also eyeing abroad, since a compatriot of Milan Skriniar, named David Hancko, has been approached. Aged 26, he is left-handed and can help out at full-back. But Feyenoord, his club, would not be willing to let go of him in January. Other ideas have been relayed by the European press in recent days, such as Antonio Silva (Benfica Lisbon), Gonçalo Inacio (Sporting Portugal) and Raphaël Varane. What is certain is that PSG is actively looking for a new central defender and a right back in this winter transfer window. And it’s not for lack of anticipation!
