Press review: PSG hungry for trophies with striker and keeper moves | OneFootball

This Friday, August 14, the French press (from a sporting point of view) focused, regarding Paris Saint-Germain, on the unchanged desire to win trophies, as well as the transfer market with attacking movement (Ferran Torres, Mika Godts and Bradley Barcola), and also more possible change in the goalkeeper position following the arrival of Zion Suzuki.

Le Parisien –

L’Equipe –

PSG clearly showed from its very first match, the UEFA Super Cup won on Wednesday against Aston Villa, that it still has the desire to win. Coach Luis Enrique and the players did not hide the fact that the objective remains the same: to win everything, including the Champions League, in order to make it three in a row. It is talk, but the players’ fitness levels from the restart confirm a certain seriousness. And Luis Enrique is well known: he is not the type to talk for nothing. You can still feel that desire in him to do better and keep winning titles. Something he knows how to pass on to his players, as they often point out.

To achieve these difficult objectives, PSG is logically continuing to fine-tune its squad. That means a smart transfer window, one that refreshes the team a little and tries to improve it at the same time. The attack should indeed change, notably with new backups in order to provide fresh competition and even more versatility given the profiles involved. The mix is very promising.

As for the goalkeepers, things are a little less clear. The upcoming signing of Suzuki (23, Parma and Japan) is regularly mentioned but without confirmation. Above all, there is doubt over what his role would be afterward. A loan move, especially to Juventus, had long been suggested. Except that this option was cooled by rumors yesterday. It is now more likely that the Japanese goalkeeper will stay and compete with Matvey Safonov (27), while Lucas Chevalier (24) would be asked to leave. It is “simple”: we have to wait for something concrete in order to see things more clearly.
