This summer, one of PSG’s priorities will be to recruit a new central defender. With that in mind, their top target was Leny Yoro, who now appears close to joining Real Madrid.
It seems PSG also tried for Matthijs De Ligt, who had other plans for his future. Despite PSG’s focus on Kylian Mbappé’s succession dominating their transfer thoughts, signing a new central defender remains crucial. PSG has been keenly eyeing Leny Yoro, but the Lille defender looks closer to Real Madrid. Therefore, the Parisian club is now turning towards Dean Huijsen, the young Juventus defender. De Ligt turned down PSG…
However, before that, PSG attempted a major coup. According to reports from Christian Falk, PSG tried for Matthijs De Ligt. “I heard PSG was also interested, but I don’t think it will happen,” explained the Sport BILD journalist in his Caught Offside column.
… and is leaning towards Manchester United
It’s worth noting that Matthijs De Ligt seems much more inclined towards a transfer to Manchester United. “He is very close to Manchester United (…) Bayern wants €50M plus bonuses, bringing the total to nearly €60M. We’ll see if United wants to pay this amount as De Ligt has clearly stated he only wants to go to United,” added Christian Falk.
