Press review: Doué/Barcola, Zaïre-Emery frustrated, and the transfer window | OneFootball

This Tuesday, July 7, the French press (from a sporting point of view) focused, on the Paris Saint-Germain side, on the imminent arrival of Maghnes Akliouche (the 24-year-old attacking midfielder/forward from AS Monaco and the France national team), while the Yan Diomande case (the 19-year-old winger from RB Leipzig and Ivory Coast) is still ongoing. There is also the France national team, with the competition between Bradley Barcola and Désiré Doué (forwards aged 23 and 21). As well as the frustration of Warren Zaïre-Emery (the 20-year-old midfielder), who is not playing.

The transfer window has been lively on PSG’s side in recent hours. Lee Kang-In (25-year-old midfielder/forward) is getting closer to Atlético Madrid for around €40 million, while Gonçalo Ramos (25-year-old striker) has already left for AC Milan for €75 million. Paris should therefore bring in players to replace them numerically, hoping they can be more consistent. Akliouche and Diomande are the names most often mentioned. It is even said to be well advanced for the former. But caution remains, as always, until it becomes concrete.

Patience is needed, as Zaïre-Emery is showing with the France national team. He is young, the competition is fierce, but frustration is understandable when you do not play a single minute. It raises the question of whether the Bleus staff could not have given him a little playing time during the group stage. The same goes for Lucas Hernandez and N’Golo Kanté. It is a shame, especially if they are needed later in the tournament.

Barcola and Doué, meanwhile, have had the chance to play, almost always alternating. While they often change positions at PSG, they are more or less “stuck” on the left with France. France is fortunate to have two top-level players with different profiles. That makes it possible to adapt to the team’s needs. A great weapon for what comes next in a squad that is not short on strengths.
