Since the start of the season, Spanish coach Luis Enrique has faced a major problem: the absence of an assigned number 9, mainly due to the early injury of Gonçalo Ramos at the very start of the season. According to The Parisianthe former FC Barcelona coach would have had the opportunity to strengthen his offensive sector, but he would have chosen not to seize this chance.
Since the departure of Kylian Mbappé, PSG has struggled to regain its effectiveness in front of goal. Mbappé, capable of unblocking complex matches alone and scoring more than 30 goals per season, leaves a significant void. This inefficiency is particularly felt in the Champions League, where the Parisian club has only taken 4 points in 3 games, placing it in a disappointing 19th position. To compensate for this lack of scorer, Luis Enrique uses alternative solutions such as Marco Asensio or Kang-in Lee in a role of false number 9, to the detriment of Randal Kolo Muani, who is nevertheless performing well with the France team.
A compromised winter arrival?
According to Le Parisien, Luis Enrique had already refused, after the injury to Gonçalo Ramos on August 16, the proposals of Luis Campos, who had notably considered Victor Osimhen (currently at Galatasaray). The Spanish technician remains on the same line and seems reluctant to revive the prospect of an attacker this winter. Thus, the idea of an offensive reinforcement seems “unlikely”, according to the regional daily.
