Press review: PSG overlooked again, despite a well-run transfer window? | OneFootball

This Saturday, July 25, the French press (on the sporting side) focused on absolutely nothing regarding Paris Saint-Germain, for the second day in a row.

Le Parisien –

Nothing.

L’Equipe –

Nothing.

We already spoke at length yesterday about this welcome calm around PSG, pointing out that it is also a sign that the controversies have disappeared (you can find that here). Today, let’s think more about the calm of the transfer window (and the article’s photo was not chosen at random). In recent days, we have seen irritation and panic, just like last summer (and very regularly around the Parisian club during the summer).

Several big clubs have already signed players, while PSG has not officially made a move yet. Since last night, it even seems that Real Madrid could overtake Paris in the Yan Diomande case (the 19-year-old winger from RB Leipzig and Real Madrid). And suddenly the club is doing everything wrong, and coach Luis Enrique and football advisor Luis Campos should be more active.

And yet, we had also seen that the more than €100 million demanded by Leipzig was far too high. That is quite possible. Above all, this PSG side is a two-time European champion. Isn’t it time to have a little more trust? A little more calm? Life as supporters is going to be long and stressful if this back-to-back is still not enough to bring some peace of mind.

It is also worth keeping in mind that Luis Campos’ PSG tends to recruit more discreetly. It is not inactive, but it avoids long-running rumors. The Désiré Doué, João Neves and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia cases dragged on publicly, but the negotiations were confirmed and PSG got excellent prices (all transfers lower than the fee being mentioned for Diomande). Other cases, like Willian Pacho, did not appear in the media until the official announcement was imminent. We could see the same scenario with a player who has not yet been mentioned in this summer’s rumors. Maybe several signings.

In any case, Paris has clearly shown that its squad is very well equipped. Especially since players are improving within this collective led by Luis Enrique. So yes, there is no major media buzz. But that does not look worrying. Rather, it looks like the calm of a club that is working well and has every reason to be confident in its own strength.
