Leonardo, target of all resentment? According to Le Parisien, the sports director of PSG is “at the heart of the game and questions” during this transfer window, despite a transfer window that promises to be quite impressive: Georginio Wijnaldum has signed, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Achraf Hakimi and Sergio Ramos will follow. But it is precisely this recruitment that questions. The Ramos and Donnarumma tracks have jostled the locker room, which does not seem to understand the interest of such recruitments, in positions where Marquinhos, Kimpembe and Navas gave satisfaction last season. According to Le Parisien, Leonardo “has never been so challenged internally” and would also have concerns with the Mbappé clan. The dialogue would be “complicated or even non-existent” with the relatives of the player.
