PSG ramp up preparations for the UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham amidst a flurry of transfer activity.
Paris Saint-Germain have officially completed the signing of Lucas Chevalier from Lille, with the young goalkeeper stepping in as the new No.1. His statement of intent and ambition were clear in his remarks about joining the club, where he praised the influence of manager Luis Enrique as a deciding factor in his move. PSG are not stopping there, as Ilya Zabarnyi, the talented Ukrainian central defender from Bournemouth, has successfully passed his medical ahead of his much-anticipated transfer to PSG, according to Le Parisien.
Meanwhile, Gianluigi Donnarumma's tenure at the club appears to be nearing an end, with discussions about his future intensifying as Manchester United and Chelsea show interest. PSG have been proactive in placing him on the transfer market, seeking a €30 million fee rather than risk losing him for free next year.
A considerable blow for PSG as João Neves faces suspension for two critical matches, the UEFA Super Cup against Tottenham and the opening Ligue 1 fixture against Nantes. Neves received a red card following an altercation with Chelsea's Marc Cucurella in the Club World Cup final last season. This absence leaves coach Luis Enrique with tactical adjustments ahead of crucial fixtures.
With Chevalier sealing his move, attention shifts to ensuring squad depth and quality, as PSG have solidified their goalkeeping position amidst looming decisions regarding Donnarumma. The squad's morale remains high, with Chevalier eager to integrate quickly, highlighting his previous connections with multiple players and staff members at PSG, smoothing his transition.
Achraf Hakimi has shed light on the tactical approach under Luis Enrique, lauding his methodical planning and the mental fortitude instilled within the team. Hakimi revealed that maintaining a cohesive mindset in the face of potential adversity is crucial, as demonstrated when they navigated past setbacks mid-season to clinch major titles.
