PSG faces uncertainty regarding Carlos Soler and West Ham. The challenges of a key transfer for the transfer window.
The winter transfer window promises to be complex for the Paris Saint-Germainwith sensitive files like that of Carlos Soler. The Spanish international, on loan to West Ham Unitedis at the heart of an imbroglio which could have significant consequences for the Parisian club.
The initial deal with West Ham: a loan with option to buy
During the last summer transfer window, PSG concluded a loan with West Ham for Carlos Soler. The agreement included a purchase option set at 20 million euros. This sum would have allowed PSG to strengthen itself on other fronts. Soler, aged 28, was recruited by the London club at the instigation of coach Julen Lopetegui, who saw him as an essential asset for the midfielder.
-A change of direction that disrupts plans
West Ham's sacking of Julen Lopetegui has called everything into question. Graham Potter, the new Hammers coach, is not convinced by Carlos Soler's profile. This reluctance led to a suspension of discussions regarding the activation of the purchase option. This turnaround puts PSG in a delicate position, temporarily preventing further movements on the transfer market.
The implications for PSG and the loan of Randal Kolo Muani
The definitive sale of Carlos Soler would have facilitated the conclusion of Randal Kolo Muani's loan to Juventus. This transfer, crucial for PSG, remains on hold due to the lack of liquidity released by the aborted sale of Soler. The Parisian club is therefore exploring alternative solutions to free up funds.
Negotiations still ongoing
PSG continues discussions with West Ham to try to find a compromise. However, the current context complicates the task, because Graham Potter prefers to explore other options to strengthen his squad. This situation creates uncertainty not only for Soler, but also for PSG's overall plans during this transfer window.
