In great difficulty in the Champions League, PSG could take advantage of the month of January to strengthen themselves and present a more dangerous face offensively. Nasser Al-Khelaïfi made things clear.
The Luis Enrique version of PSG's project has been clearly laid out in recent months. It is about relying on the Spanish coach's abilities to help young players progress to create a team capable of gaining strength in the years to come. The departures of stars Neymar, Kylian Mbappé and Lionel Messi were the detonators of this new direction. Choices perfectly assumed by Luis Enrique, who voluntarily wanted to deprive himself of a top striker this summer to build the squad as he wished. It is clear that this does not work in the Champions League, where PSG is on the verge of elimination before playing next week at Bayern Munich.
Nothing to disturb Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, who spoke on RMC to make his point of view on the situation known. For the Qatari president, there is absolutely nothing to panic about, and it would not be a tragedy to be knocked out of the Champions League prematurely. The idea is to help the team progress, and there is therefore no urgency to recruit this winter, if Luis Enrique does not request it.
“If you criticize me, I listen”
« If you criticize me so that we can be better, I listen. It's football. But today, our strategy is long-term. We have a young team, we are not in a hurry, we trust Luis Enrique, his style. Honestly, today, no, no recruits in the transfer window. But I don't know what will happen if there are opportunities. We speak with the coach. But today, no. We have confidence in our players. We are in no hurry », Delivered Nasser Al-Khelaïfi, who takes the opposite view of many media and informants for whom it is time to have contributions, particularly on the offensive level.
Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé have almost no competition, and PSG have been without a center forward since the start of the season. But we must believe that the simple return from injury of Gonçalo Ramos is enough for the happiness of the Parisian club, for whom strengthening through the transfer window is not considered useful.
