The cash-laden French giants have already completed the signing of Thiago Silva from AC Milan and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 may follow suit. However, it might not be the end of the club’s transfer activity
Just a few nights back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thiago-Silva-c34903 signed a contract with Paris Saint-Germain. The French outfit paid Italian giants AC Milan 45 million euros for the 27-year-old, breaking the previous record of transfer for a defender while doing
so.
Almost a decade ago, the record was held by Manchester United when they bought http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173 from Leeds United. With so many clubs looking to spend wisely in the transfer market owing to the financial climate, PSG have the means to out muscle almost every
club in the world.
Today, PSG are doing exactly what Manchester City started a few years ago. Fuelled by petrodollars, the Paris-based club is set to assemble a type of dream team that could be serious challenge for any side in Europe next season.
However, in order to assemble such a cause, there will always be a price to pay which would already be giving coach Carlo Ancelotti a lot of headaches.
Eager to match other elites in Europe, Leonardo has invested almost 170 million euros on player transfers in a year.
If http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Maxwell-c25051 (Defenders), Sissoko, Motta, Pastore (or Matuidi) (Midfielders), Menez/Nene, Lavezzi and Ibrahimovic (Strikers).
Though the team looks great, PSG will be forced to take a look at the financial fair play that has been imposed by UEFA. The ruling becomes effective in the upcoming season so the cash-laden club will be needing to balance the books by selling a few players
who don’t really have a future at the club anymore.
After attaining the services of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ezequiel-Lavezzi-c13073 and Thiago Silva and perhaps Zlatan Ibrahimovic, PSG are also on the verge of securing a move for Italian sensation Marco Verratti from Pescara. However, Carlo Ancelotti has hinted that the club’s shopping
is not over yet as he needs to sign at least one experienced midfielder.
Les Parisiens coach has also hinted that he might go for another striker and possibly a right winger.
If all these choices are made, it will create a traffic jam in all sectors meaning that many players who actively participated for the team last season, might be debunked by Ancelotti.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Kevin-Gameiro-c20721 had a decent debut campaign for the Ile giants but will struggle to displace someone like Ibrahimovic should he arrive at Parc des Princes. Nene was the top scorer for the club last season but he will struggle for game-time next season.
Mamadou Sakho’s case is no different. The France international saw game-time hard to come by in the final few games of the 2011/2012 campaign and subsequently missed out on a spot at the Euros with the French national team.
Though he is a product of PSG’s youth system, Sakho no more commands the confidence of the management and has only two options available.
With the arrival of Thiago Silva, who’s currently considered as the best defender in the world, Sakho will have to accept the fact that he will have to compete for a place in the starting XI. If that proves too much for him, the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 international will
be left to consider a move elsewhere in order to seek more game-time.
Never before in Ligue 1 have the big-name French players been victims of so much competition. Limited finances force most of the clubs to rely on home-grown talent. However, it can no more be said of PSG who are financially on par with European powerhouses.
