On the eve of the clash against Olympique Lyonnais at the Parc des Princes, Luis Enrique, coach of Paris Saint-Germain, was measured about the prospects of the winter transfer window. Questioned during the traditional pre-match press conference, the Spaniard recalled the difficulties inherent in this transfer period while showing his confidence in the current squad.
A complex transfer window
Acknowledging the challenges of the winter transfer window, Luis Enrique explained: “The January transfer window is always complicated. Finding players capable of improving a team like ours is not easy. We are open to opportunities, but we do not expect miracles. » The coach insisted that, despite rumors and expectations, he is focused above all on promoting the players already in his group.
Focus on the existing workforce
Rather than focusing on possible arrivals, Luis Enrique spoke of his desire to help his players progress, particularly those who benefit from less playing time: “We will work to integrate players more into the rotation and offer them minutes. What I see today on the ground satisfies me a lot. »
A measured but strategic position
If the words of the Asturian technician leave the door open to reinforcements in January, they also demonstrate a desire to maintain a positive dynamic within his locker room. For PSG, this transfer window could thus be marked by the search for very targeted profiles, without upsetting an already well-armed workforce.
Supporters will therefore have to wait to find out if Paris will strengthen this winter, but the coach seems, for the moment, to be banking on stability and continuity.
