After Mauricio Pochettino’s sanitized press conferences, journalists who follow PSG are discovering the “Galtier style” during press briefings. The new Paris coach has a reputation for being thoughtful but direct in his responses. This Thursday to the question “in an ideal transfer market, how many players do you want?”, the technician was frank and direct:
Three, hopefully three recruits. Then there is the difficulty of the transfer window, it’s difficult. The president and Luis Campos are working a lot on this. We are not here to stack players either. I want a certain number of players in my squad, players who are very close in terms of level to perform well throughout the season and also create healthy competition. But will these three players arrive quickly, later or not at all? I do not know. I know that the club makes every effort to have a very competitive workforce.
Christophe Galtier, on the other hand, did not want to reveal the profiles sought. Two certainties, PSG is looking for a central defender and a more physical midfielder.
So far, and with the formalization of the transfer of Renato Sanches from Lille, PSG has recruited three players: Portuguese midfielder Vitinha (ex-Porto), young French striker (20) Hugo Ekitike (ex-Reims ) and French defender Nordi Mukiele (ex-RB Leipzig).
