Paris Saint-Germain did not spend as much as Chelsea, Manchester United or Arsenal last summer, but they certainly didn’t save their money either. Seven football players arrived at Princes’ Park, close to 150,000,000 euros were taken out of the club’s bank, two-thirds of which was directed to the purchase of midfielders. Despite the signings of Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, Carlos Soler and Renato Sanchez, the Parisians are struggling to find the right formula in midfield. Nor are they dominating League 1 like in previous years, and they seem to be in danger of being eliminated by Bayern in the round of 16 of the Champions League.Manu Koné vs Bayern59 passes95% pass accuracy1 key pass1 big chance created1/1 accurate long ball5/5 successful dribbles5 tackles1/2 aerial duels won14/19 duels won21 years of age.

But in February already, the French champions are starting to think about a new transfer window. They set their sights on Bundesliga, where there are three players they like, and they are all Frenchmen – two strikers and one midfielder.Not a good sign: only 35% PSG fans believe in a win over BayernManu Kone is the new invention of Borussia Monchengladbach. The Foals bought the French midfielder in Toulouse in January 2021 for 9,000,000 euros. Since then, the price of the 21-year-old midfielder has been constantly increasing. Strategic advisor Luis Campos is a supporter of the idea of bringing him in, and L’Equip writes that Kone is interested in being part of Paris Saint-Germain’s project, but the most powerful club in France will need between 25 and 35 million euros for this transfer. But, there is still quite a bit to play until the end of the season, so Kone’s price could increase further, depending on his games.Mbappe’s brace and Messi’s injury time goal give PSG an undeserved victory over LilleHe is not the only Gladbach player targeted by Paris Saint-Germain. There is also Marcus Thuram, a striker who was targeted by several Premier League players last winter, while Inter showed the greatest interest. Unlike Kone, the son of the legendary Lilian Thuram has decided not to renew his contract with Borussia, so PSG could take him without compensation in the summer since his contract with Borussia is expiring. Last summer, the Parisians brought the talented Ugo Ekitike from Reims on loan with a buyout of 36 million euros, but as the rumors about Neymar’s departure are getting louder, and Lionel Messi’s contract extension is still up in the air, they are considering several attacking options.One of the world’s most sought-after talents is available and freeAlong with Thuram, it’s also Randal Kolo Muani, Eintracht’s striker who is setting the Bundesliga ’on fire’. He was one of the revelations of the World Cup in Qatar. This season, after only 20 league games, he already has a double-double performance. He scored ten and set up 12 goals, and since he played only 1,611 minutes, in the Bundesliga, he participates in Eintracht’s goals on average every 73 minutes. If we include all competitions in the equation, we are talking about 15 goals and 14 assists in 30 games. It’s no wonder that Eintracht set a price of pharaonic 100 million euros. His contract is valid until 2027, so the Parisians will have to pay the price if they want their man.##NAJAVA_MECA_7031465##
