The departure of Kylian Mbappé has brought Paris Saint-Germain into a new era. The capital club remains very ambitious.
Kylian Mbappé has chosen to open a new chapter in his career in Madrid. And his decision is akin to a major turning point in the strategy of the capital club.
Journalist Fabrizio Romano has given a full update on the plan currently being hatched behind the scenes at Paris Saint-Germain. Although Nasser Al-Khelaïfi announced during his media tour in the spring that he had ” a plan with Kylian (Mbappé)“, the Qatari leader had anticipated the departure of his major player. And if Paris has taken a first turn by abandoning its galactic policy to concentrate on young people with high potential and duty players, the club’s ambition will still remain very high for the seasons to come.
3 major players this summer
Ideally, Paris Saint-Germain would not want to repeat the same mistakes as at the start of the 2016-17 season, when the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, then the beacon of the project, was not filled. The presence of Luis Enrique generates a wave of optimism regarding the Spaniard’s ability to create a collective.
But gaps have been clearly identified. And according to Fabrizio Romano, 3 major players are being targeted next summer. One per line, more precisely, since Paris would like to attract a central defender who is expected to be a starter, a midfielder of stature (or even two), and a striker capable of taking on the contingent of goals left vacant by Mbappé. The names of Leny Yoro, Bruno Guimaraes, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen have been persistently circulated, but other files are being studied in secret by Luis Campos.
