While his arrival in Dortmund has been formalized, Thomas Meunier is still thinking about finishing the season with PSG according to the leaders of the German club. The Belgian is still thinking of finishing the Champions League with Paris.
It is a small bomb that the general manager of Borussia Dortmund Hans-Joachim Watzke dropped this Sunday morning on the antenna of the TV channel Sport1. While the club formalized Friday the arrival of the Belgian for the next four years, Meunier would still think about finishing the current season with Paris according to Watzke: “Thomas has not yet decided whether he will end the season with PSG to play in the Final 8 of the Champions League. All I know is that he is currently considering this possibility. “
Even more surprising, Dortmund even leaves the door open to this possibility that even Thomas Tuchel had not mentioned Friday before the press. It is still Waztke who affirms it: “If he wishes, he can go to Paris. We will simply have to discuss and find common ground with our Parisian counterparts, in particular to clarify the terms of the two-month contract extension and all that concerns insurance. We are in any case open to this possibility. We know that this competition is the most prestigious for any club and for any player. “
The general manager of the BVB even sees good things in Meunier’s finishing the season in Paris before joining the Ruhr: “Thomas rested well with the confinement, he could play C1 with PSG in August, then join us in stride to complete the preparation for the new season. That he wanted to go through with this project with the Parisians would be entirely understandable. “
If Dortmund raises the possibility of seeing Meunier return to Paris to finish the season, it seems totally improbable at this moment. The player even said goodbye to the club and supporters while PSG and BVB could not find an agreement for a two-month loan a few weeks ago when they discussed this possibility.
