By wanting to focus too much on the collective, Luis Enrique's PSG tends to forget some fundamentals. Like having an attacker to finish the job. Without number 9, Paris has often found itself in difficulty this season, mainly on the European scene. And even if Barcola, Dembele or even Asensio are on target, the need to be able to count on a striker up front seems obvious. For this, PSG aspires to recruit in January. And the Viktor Gyokeres track seemed ideal.
Real Madrid gets in on it
A true phenomenon of efficiency and accuracy, Viktor Gyokeres has been crushing everything in his path for a year and a half since his arrival at Sporting Lisbon. PSG is following him very carefully but the competition seems so enormous that Luis Campos could be given priority… After Manchester United, Manchester City and Barça, it is Real Madrid's turn to position themselves.
Luis Enrique plays watch
Besides the insane competition, PSG has another problem: Luis Enrique. The Spaniard refused to recruit a 9 last summer and seems difficult to convince, again, for this winter. Despite the evidence and the lack of a hitman ahead, Enrique resists. Resistance that could be fatal to Paris in the Gyokeres case
