The new PSG He has been giving a lot to talk about at the start of the season. With five wins and a draw in six games, the team leads the Ligue 1 and this Saturday he has a new commitment, this time against the Nanteswhich you can follow on by ESPN in Star+.

However, during the last week, the team’s big win came at the end of the transfer window. In the last days of the market, the directive managed to get rid of six elements that were not in the plans.

julian draxler signed for him benfica, Abdou Diallo he came back to Germany to defend Leipzig, Idrissa Güeye returned to Everton Y Ancer Herrera to the Athletic Bilbao. Layvin Kurzawa he went to Fulham Y Leandro Paredes to Juventus. All six deals were closed on loan.

The cleanliness in the template, by the way, was a feature of the current Parisian window. In addition to the six players on loan in the last week, the club negotiated another five from the squad who no longer saw each other with the same eyes as before.

Georgian Wijnaldum he went to the Rome, Alphonse Areola was instantly bought by him Westham, to which he joined Thilo Kehrerwhile Angel Di Maria Y Xavi Simons they left for free. Ultimately, the team received €51.3 million in sales. Also, Mauro Icardiwho is part of the remaining ‘negotiables’, can still go to Turkey.

The sales process has a lot to do with the arrival of the Portuguese Louis Fields to lead the football on the board. The director has always been characterized by doing good business in the market and putting together good teams without having much money.

His work in the Lille was widely recognized, especially after the national title in 2021. Now, at PSGthe Portuguese arrived with the mission of initiating a reformulation in the way of managing the club’s football.

After spending a lot in the last window and the team not responding on the field, it was understood that a new profile was needed, with less popular signings, but that could help tactically.

First, the team changed coaches, with Mauricio Pochettino giving way to Christophe Galtierthe technician who defeated the mighty PSG with the Lille in 2021 and has less prominence than other names that were hired from the team’s millionaire project.

Six players joined the reinforcements, all under 26 years of age and with a very clear profile: help the trio Messi, Neymar Y Mbappe.

Starting with the defensive phase. Defender Mukiele and midfielders Renato Sanchez and Vitinha arrive to be able to ‘take the piano’, with Galtier changing the scheme and having three defenses so that the attacking trio has fewer obligations.

Fabian Ruiz Y Carlos Soler they can become good options to equip attackers, while Ekitike arrives on loan as the jewel that can grow having in the three stars a base to evolve.

Counting on reinforcements from a new face and, mainly, with those ‘rejected’ from the outgoing squad from last season, the PSG He almost manages to complete his reformulation to ‘win’ the transfer window and qualify for the titles he dreams of so much, such as the Champions League.
