After welcoming Khvitcha Kvaratskhelia coming from Naples, the Paris Saint-Germain seems determined to continue its offensive strengthening. While the young Georgian striker will not be able to play in the Champions League match against Manchester City on Wednesday evening, the Parisian leaders are exploring other avenues to fill this gap in attack.
Jhon Duran, the priority for the summer?
According to information from Relevo, the PSG would have targeted John Duranthe Colombian strikerAston Villaas a potential recruit for the number 9 position. PSG decision-makers would have met the entourage of the Colombian striker from Aston Villa, who corresponds to the criteria established for the number 9 position desired by Luis Enrique. Aged 21, Duran has scored 7 goals in 19 Premier League games this season, confirming his attacking potential. However, negotiations appear to be focused on a summer transfer rather than a winter one.
A high price to negotiate
The main obstacle to this operation could be the amount demanded by Aston Villawho would demand 70 million euros to release his young striker. Although PSG is trying to lower this price, other clubs like Chelsea are also said to be interested in Duran, which could reignite competition and bidding. The next few weeks will be crucial to determine whether PSG will manage to conclude this priority file.
Other avenues explored
Alongside the Duran track, PSG continues to explore other options to strengthen its offensive sector, whether for this winter or next summer. Luis Enrique seems determined to shape an attack that matches Parisian ambitions, and the leaders are increasing their contacts to unearth the best talents available on the market.
