Messi will have new teammates at PSG: the striker arriving to contend for a place in the offensive trident

A few hours after the closure of the winter pass market in Europe, which will be punctual in France at 11pm (7pm in Argentina), the paris saint germain still aspires to add two last-minute additions to bolster the squad in the face of the intense calendar that is coming in this first part of 2023. Because in addition to the Ligue 1 and French Cupalso the Parisian team will look to continue advancing in the Champions League, where they will face Bayern Munich in the round of 16.

The two targeted by PSG to join the team before the deadline is the Moroccan from the big World Cup, Hakim Ziech, and Slovak Milan Skriniar who plays central. Neither name comes as a surprise. Indeed, the team led by Christopher Galtier It has been in negotiations for some time to close the two incorporations.

However, for various reasons, everything has been delayed and therefore they have reached the last day with the uncertainty of whether they will finally be able to sign them or not. If Ziyech’s pass materializes, would come from the hand of Luis Campos. The Portuguese councilor likes the player and his quality also seduces Galtier. Also, a fact in favor is that sHe perfectly understands Achraf Hakimi, with whom he shares team and armband in the Moroccan team. His arrival would give the Parisian team one more instrument to accompany Neymar, Lionel Messi or Kylian Mbappé in the event that any member of the trident cannot be or is being replaced.

While the will of the player is clear, Until now, Chelsea have shown little flexibility in the negotiations and, as reported in Europe, the Manchester United were also interested in the Moroccan. In any case, PSG are counting on being able to unlock his arrival in the next few hours. It still remains to be determined whether he will buy a percentage of the pass or Chelsea will accept a loan.

The other target would have come from Italy

PSG’s interest in Skriniar is not new. He had already tried to bring him to the last summer transfer market to strengthen the defence. However Inter, owner of his pass, does not give in to his requests. Although andThe plant is free on June 30 this year, therefore he is already able to negotiate with any club in view of the forthcoming opening of the transfer book, The Parisian team’s intention is not to wait any longer and add him to this winter transfer market.

And, of course, given the possibility that the player and PSG reached an agreement for Skriniar to enter for free in July and without leaving a burden on Inter, the Italian team changed position. Initially the Parisians did an offer of eight million euros plus two million bonuses, but this proposal was rejected by Inter. Another point that stops the Milanese is the fact that, in case of letting him leave, they would no longer have time to bring in a replacement.

Thus, although PSG are confident they can close it, The Italian media ensure that the operation, at this moment, will hardly be closed.
