the replacement for Marquinhos to be found in January?

The winter transfer window officially opened its doors this Wednesday, January 1, 2025! And Paris Saint-Germain will have their work cut out for them, whether in terms of departures or arrivals. It's no secret that Randal Kolo Muani and also Milan Skriniar could leave the banks of the Seine this winter. Both men saw their playing time significantly reduced during this first part of the season. No longer part of Luis Enrique's plans, the center forward and central defender are asked to find a new way out in order to get back on track. In the event of a sale or loan, PSG management has already targeted the position to be reinforced as a priority.

A central defender wanted by Paris Saint-Germain

For many seasons now, Marquinhos has been an obvious presence in the defense of Paris Saint-Germain. However, the capital club's recruitment unit is looking for an understudy for him, L'Équipe tells us in today's edition. Thus, the departure of Randal Kolo Muani or Milan Skriniar could greatly facilitate the search. However, PSG has central defenders in their possession who can do the job.

Indeed, Lucas Hernandez returned from injury and has shown good things since his return. Presnel Kimpembe has never been so close to a comeback after his very serious Achilles tendon injury. If he doesn't have his previous level, PSG's number 3 will work hard to find it again and could be a serious solution to make Marquinhos breathe. And Lucas Beraldo has played very little since the start of the 2024/2025 financial year, but has the ability to help out in central defense. If a reinforcement arrives this winter, is it a hard blow for these players already installed in the rotation?
