Despite a double course in Spanish/Communication, I decided to take control of my dreams by heading into journalism. With a master’s degree in sports journalism, I cover sports and football news with as much admiration for transfer periods, when a club must make crucial choices for next season.

At times, the transfer window can contain its share of surprising stories. If in 2018, Bayern Munich managed to sign the young Canadian prospect Alphonso Davies, PSG would have been very close to signing the left back, who has since become a star of world football. The reason? The girlfriend of the now 24-year-old player played in the women’s team of the Parisian club.

The PSG experienced a period marked by the presence of stars within its squad. But the capital club has also attempted big moves with promising young players in recent years. Nuno Mendes in 2021, João Neves last summer, or the Brazilians Gabriel Moscardo et Lucas Beraldo, Paris appreciates young talent, and could have struck a huge blow in 2018.

PSG could have signed Alphonso Davies

At the time, while the left-back position was occupied by the Spaniard Yuri Berchichethe PSG did not go far from the signing ofAlphonso Davies. If nowadays, the Canadian has become one of the world references in his position with the Bayern Munichin 2018, the young hopeful is only 18 years old, and has just been revealed with the Whitecaps de Vancouver in MLS. If several European clubs are monitoring the situation of the left back, the Parisian club had a major advantage in this matter, given that the girlfriend of Davies played in the women’s team of PSG.

“Alphonso Davies’ girlfriend played for the PSG women’s team”

Present at the microphone of RMC this Thursday, Jerome Mearytransfer intermediary, explained how the French club came close to the Canadian star: “They are among the players who are trained in North America and it shows that North American training is working better and better. Alphonso Davies has been spotted by all the clubs. PSG was Antero Henrique at the time, with my friend Bruno Cheyrou who managed the women’s team at PSG. Alphonso Davies’ girlfriend played for the PSG women’s team, he was on the radar. They absolutely wanted to sign him, it was really not far, and Bayern managed to do it under the noses of PSG, it was not far. »
