Making Sense of PSG's Transfer Strategy
As the calendar flips to July, Paris Saint-Germain has yet to hire a new manager or announce a major signing. With so much work to be done, should supporters start to worry?
On this episode of PSG Talking, Ed is joined by Drew from Dallas and Ethan from PSG Fan Club Boise to discuss PSG's overall transfer strategy, the latest on Kylian Mbapp\xe9, and what PSG's starting lineup could look like next season.
Up first, Ed shares his thoughts on PSG's transfer business so far, which includes signing the injured Lucas Hern\xe1ndez from FC Bayern Munich for \u20ac45 million. Should PSG instead target players like Harry Kane, who are hungry for trophies, aren't often injured, and can provide goals from day one? The monologue concludes with Ed sharing why PSG fans should keep an eye on the Xavi Simons situation.
Next, Ed welcomes Drew from Dallas to the show to discuss the transfer window in depth. Drew first shares how he became a PSG supporter before diving into the rumored signings of Hern\xe1ndez, Marco Asensio, Milan \u0160kriniar, Manuel Ugarte, and others. Luis Enrique is likely to be PSG's next manager, and Drew shares his thoughts on whether he was the best option for the club.
Following Drew is Ethan from PSG Fan Club Boise to break down what PSG's starting lineup could look like next season. From Gianluigi Donnarumma in goal to Mbapp\xe9 potentially leading the attack to Neymar Jr. playing the number 10 role, Ethan gives his ideal formation, lineup, and backups at every position. He also asked him which young player in the ranks at PSG could work his way into being a consistent starter.
