The cub has grown and left the pride. Only…did it have to bite its foster at the worst moment? Since Arab money flowed into Paris Saint-Germain in 2011 and virtually overnight made the project of the Qatari state dominant on French soil, and a candidate for winning the Champions League, the Saints have never been so close to being crowned European champions as in August 2020, when they played the final of the elite competition against Bayern Munich in “coronavirus conditions” at Da Luz in Lisbon. The then-coach Thomas Tuchel kept level against the Bavarians for over an hour, but then Daniele Orsato pointed to the center after Kingsley Coman’s shot. It couldn’t have been more painful. The guy who went through all the younger categories of Paris Saint-Germain inflicted a wound on “his own pride” and it turned out that to this day, the Parisians have never come so close to winning the Champions League.##NAJAVA_MECA_8192887##Now maybe the time has come not to forget everything, but to forgive and make a new pact of love for mutual benefit. As reported by Bild journalist Christian Falk, well versed in the events at the Allianz Arena, Paris Saint-Germain practically completed the transfer of Kingsley Coman from Bayern, and the 28-year-old winger will return home after 10 years and sign a contract until the summer of 2027. Ten days ago the sum of 50,000,000 euros was mentioned, as much as Bayern demanded for a guy who spent the previous seven years in Munich, and although at first it seemed too much for a player who was chronically injured, apparently in Paris they estimated that they would get an adequate reinforcement in Coman, just to the liking of Luis Enrique.The France international is far from the only expensive signing that Paris Saint-Germain could complete in the early stages of the summer transfer window. The back line could be strengthened by the signing of Matthijs de Ligt, with Manchester United still the first favorites for the Dutchman’s arrival. May be a bit of a strange choice, given that, like Milan Skriniar, De Ligt’s career is not have an upward trajectory, and he is still an expensive player as a 25-year-old (Bayern is also asking for around 50,000,000 euros for him, and he is worth 65,000,000 as per Transfermarkt).🚨 PSG are interested in Kingsley Coman and Matthijs De Ligt from Bayern Munich.Coman is keen on the transfer while De Ligt is more likely to join Manchester United.(Source: @cfbayern ) pic.twitter.com/PGDH54reTp— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) July 3, 2024 It is true that Erik Ten Hag has already marked De Ligt as a primary target, held several talks with the former Ajax defender and convinced him that Old Trafford is a good place to continue his career. Now the question remains, who will get the freedom from the management to spend so much money for a player who has not progressed much in the last two, three years and the transfer from Juventus to Bayern. It’s not just that kid who at the age of 19 in Ajax had the potential to become the best defender in the world, but it’s as if he’s still a little bit out of his old glory and once again intrigues the highest paying European clubs.
