Foot – Market – PSG
Since Thiago Silva left last summer, Leonardo has yet to sign a brand new center-back. To remedy this, the sports director of PSG would like to draw from Real Madrid. More precisely, Leonardo would take a close interest in Sergio Ramos and Raphaël Varane. Two files already well advanced.
At the end of the contract on June 30, 2020 with the PSG, Thiago Silva extended its lease by two months to be able to finish the campaign of Champions League with the Parisian club. While he clearly announced his desire to stay at Paris, The monster did not see his wish come true. At first, Leonardo did not want to keep Thiago Silva, but changed his mind after the lost final against the Bayern on C1. However, it was already too late, since Thiago Silva had already agreed to join Chelsea. Orphaned by the Brazilian for almost a year, Leonardo has yet to find a worthy successor for him. And although Marks and Presnel Kimpembe make a very good pair, the sporting director of the PSG would still like to find a replacement for Thiago Silva. Thilo Kehrer and Abdou Diallo never having succeeded in stringing together the big performances in PSG.
Things are happening behind the scenes for Raphaël Varane and Sergio Ramos
To fulfill this mission, Leonardo should be used at Real Madrid. Indeed, the sports director of the PSG would be ready to welcome Sergio Ramos or Raphaël Varane this summer, two players available. On the one hand, Captain Merengue will be at the end of his contract on June 30 and has not reached a contractual agreement with Florentino Pérez to extend. With this in mind, and as he himself announced at a press conference recently, Sergio Ramos will leave the Real Madrid July 1 and will defend the colors of a brand new club next season. And according to information from Foot Market, disclosed this Monday afternoon, Sergio Ramos would have a chance to put his suitcases at the PSG. Indeed, the 35-year-old veteran would very much like to join the PSG and would have already spoken with some players of Mauricio Pochettino in this sense. And this, despite the interest of several other European clubs, and more particularly in England, and its tracks in MLS. On the other hand, Raphaël Varane will be free of any contract on June 30, 2022. And while the crisis has strongly affected the coffers of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez would not want to meet the expectations of his number 5 to extend it. So, Raphaël Varane would seriously consider leaving. A situation that would put the president of the Real Madrid in a compromising situation, since without renewal of his player, he should be forced to sell him this summer to avoid a free start in a year, like Sergio Ramos. In ambush to recover Raphaël Varane during the next summer transfer window, the PSG have already launched the major maneuvers, approaching both the direction of the Real Madrid and the clan Early. However, no offer has been made for the moment from Leonardo. The sports director of the PSG would attempt blows in the market to digitally replace Thiago Silva, but nothing would be acted for the moment. To be continued…
