Tottenham Could Make Bold January Move for Played Linked to PSG, Everton | OneFootball

In recent transfer windows, PSG have prioritized bolstering their center-back options with emerging talent. William Pacho, Lucas Beraldo, and Illia Zabarnyi have all joined the squad, laying the foundation for the club’s next generation of defenders.

Marquinhos’ time at PSG is slowly drawing to a close, and Presnel Kimpembe has already moved on. Lucas Hernandez has battled injuries and, like Marquinhos, is entering the twilight of his prime.

In April, Le Parisien noted that sporting advisor Luis Campos traveled to Italy to scout multiple players, including Mario Gila, during Lazio’s match against Bodo Glimt. The 25-year-old center-back was reportedly a potential target for the Ligue 1 side ahead of the summer transfer window.

There was also firm interest during the summer, with Brighton and Bournemouth reportedly reaching out to his representatives while assessing defensive options.
