Next Friday night, the transfer window ends. The hot files of the PSG will therefore be unlocked, or not, in this last week. In all likelihood, the first movement should concern Layvin Kurzawa, agreed to join Juventus Turin. In exchange, the club of the capital awaits Mattia De Sciglio, the versatile side of the Old Lady.
PSG has been following the defender since this summer. The track has never been abandoned. Since the start of the season, Parisian leaders, very happy with Juan Bernat's performances, have doubted their linings, so Kurzawa but also Abdou Diallo. Able to evolve to the right, the Italian can also compete with Thomas Meunier, at the end of the contract on June 30.
The transfer is still subject to a double condition: the medical examination of De Sciglio, recently affected with adductors. Last obstacle: the value of the Italian, 27 years old (around 12 million euros), is higher than that of the French, 27 years old (around 5 million). Will Paris have to pay a transfer fee or is it a dry exchange, without financial compensation?
In case of departure from Cavani, a lining will be missing
Money is the sinews of the other hot case of the week, the one leading to Edinson Cavani. Author this Sunday of a sad draw (0-0) against Leganes, yet 19th and relegationable, Atlético de Madrid needs more than ever to hire a striker of very high level. Cavani dreams of playing in Madrid. According to Spanish media, he has already passed his medical examination in recent hours, a sign of the impending transaction and a form of confidence in its completion.
The two clubs must now agree. Paris will not a priori yield its attacker to less than 15 million euros, as revealed on our site last Monday, while hoping even 20 million. Having started out with the idea of saving money for next summer, will Atlético end up increasing its first offer by 10 million? With at least five more and the economy of El Matador's salary, PSG would achieve a good economic deal. But sportingly?
Mauro Icardi will miss a trade double, Eric Choupo-Moting is not really a 9 while Kylian Mbappé is more than a 9. Leonardo wonders about the advisability of replacing Cavani. The names of two AC Milan players are mentioned when the transfer of Cavani is finalized: Brazilian midfielder Lucas Paqueta and Polish striker Krzysztof Piatek but the Lombard team claims to have received no offers for the moment, neither for one nor for the other.
