A month and a half before the opening of the winter transfer window, the capital club is refining its strategy. For several days, Paris Saint-Germain has defined two priority positions to strengthen: the axis of its defense, where the hoped-for departure of Milan Skriniar will have to be compensated, at least numerically in the squad of the Rouge et Bleu, and a position winger, preferably on the left.
Objective: compete with Bradley Barcola
After the departure of Kylian Mbappé at the end of last season, PSG did not recruit any specialist for this position. Only Désiré Doué came to strengthen the offensive sector, but, if the ex-Rennais can occasionally help out on one side, he has not yet been able to convince, especially since his preferential position remains the heart of the game.
With Ousmane Dembélé, used to playing on the other side, and Kang-In Lee, oscillating between the axis and the right, Bradley Barcola, indisputable holder in the eyes of Luis Enrique, lacks competition. The shortage of personnel in this area, added to chronic offensive inefficiency in the Champions League, pushes the Parisian management to explore the market again to strengthen the team.
Luis Campos and PSG monitor Kevin Zenon (Boca Juniors)
For several months, the names of wingers have continued to circulate. From Nico Williams to Jadon Sancho, via Rafael Leão, or even the still topical file of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, PSG has multiplied the avenues abroad. In Ligue 1, Monegasque Maghnes Akliouche also caught the eye of Luis Campos. In Ligue 1, Monegasque Maghnes Akliouche also attracted the attention of Luis Campos.
Now, it is the turn of Kevin Zenon, left winger of Boca Juniors, to be closely followed by the Portuguese sports advisor. According to the Argentinian media The Sports CrackParis would show keen interest in this 23-year-old player. Recruited last January for 3.2 million euros from Unión Santa Fe, Zenon has scored five goals and provided seven assists this year (in 40 matches in all competitions).
Contractually bound until December 2028, he stands out as one of the best elements of the Xeneizewhich increases his rating on the transfer market. According to the Argentine media, an offer of around fifteen million euros could convince Boca's leaders to give up their talent. Will Luis Campos and PSG, also interested in another Argentinian talent, make the move?
Kevin Zenon's profile
If you followed the Olympic football tournament, his name is probably not unknown to you: Kevin Zenon saw his career come to an end in the quarter-final against France. Nicknamed the “Metronome of the Union” in his training club, the native of Goya has excellent control of the ball, good technique and an ability to project himself into the opposing area.
More powerful than fast, Zenon has an undeniable shot quality, which makes him decisive on a free kick or on a few distant shots. If he can play in a more axial position, as during his training years, the Argentinian can also provide services a notch lower on his left flank, in a piston role.
