Beaten at home by Atlético Madrid (1-2 defeat) on Wednesday in the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain once again paid for its lack of offensive efficiency. Not enough to change the plans of coach Luis Enrique, opposed to the signing of an attacker like the Swede Viktor Gyökeres.
For Paris Saint-Germain, the Champions League matches follow one another and are similar. The Parisians once again showed clumsiness at the finish on Wednesday, hence the successful robbery by Atlético Madrid at the Parc des Princes. Once again, many are wondering why Luis Enrique insists on playing without a real number 9. Bring me the striker if you have itthe Spanish coach said after the match. Where do I get this attacker from? I stay true to my ideas. The day I fail in football, it will be with my ideas, not with those of journalists or another coach. »
Through his response, Luis Enrique suggests that he would not be against the idea of fielding a pure center forward, provided that this player has the necessary qualities in his eyes. However, this is not the version of the daily Le Parisien. According to our colleagues, Paris Saint-Germain does not intend to recruit a new scorer this winter. And this even if Luis Campos began to study the Viktor Gyökeres post.
PSG's new policy
This summer, the sports advisor made the Sporting Portugal striker his priority. But Luis Enrique stopped him in his tracks. The technician believed at that time that Gonçalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani and his alternatives in false number 9 were enough for his happiness. His team's start to the season could have prompted him to review his plans. Except that the Spaniard fears that the transfer price, estimated between 75 and 100 million euros for the Swede, represents too heavy a weight for a recruit to bear.
Randal Kolo Muani's difficulties after his 90 million euro operation (bonus included) have apparently had an impact on him. In any case, the Ile-de-France management now seems to be of the same opinion. And too bad if the club gives up on a striker who has scored 23 goals this season in all competitions, including a hat-trick against Manchester City (4-1) on Tuesday in the Champions League. Currently, Luis Enrique and Paris Saint-Germain are awaiting the return from injury of Gonçalo Ramos, scheduled for the reception in Toulouse on November 22.
