Transfer market – PSG seek competition for Hakimi | OneFootball

Alessandro Circati, Parma’s 22-year-old defender (under contract until 2029) and an Australia international, has been mentioned as a Paris Saint-Germain target for the transfer window. PSG Inside Actus reported this Thursday that he is one of the options in an important matter: finding competition, or at least a very solid backup, for Achraf Hakimi (the 27-year-old right-back).

Recruiting another right-back is certainly conceivable, except that there is still a lot of caution around this idea. It was also heavily pushed in the media last summer, for nothing. Since then, Warren Zaïre-Emery and Senny Mayulu (20-year-old midfielders) have shown that they are solid alternatives. Especially the former, who is capable of delivering top performances in the Champions League in that role.

It is also a way of giving them playing time in a very well-stocked midfield. Recruiting a right-back could also create a potential roadblock for these two high-level academy products. Not to mention other possible youngsters, including the very promising David Boly (17).

Be careful, though: a signing could still be targeted. It would be with a clear plan as part of the very fierce competition that coach Luis Enrique wants. But for the moment, it is far from a certainty.
