PSG president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi has broken his silence to discuss the upcoming transfer window for the capital club. He took the opportunity to clarify things regarding the Mohamed Salah rumor.
It’s back. After a few months of calm, Paris Saint-Germain’s November crisis made a remarkable comeback last week. It all started after Tuesday night’s defeat in the Champions League against Bayern Munich (1-0). A match during which Luis Enrique made strong choices, including sending his number 1 goalkeeper, Gianluigi Donnarumma, to the bench. Then, the exit against Nantes last weekend didn’t really help matters (1-1). Since then, tongues have been loosening.
French sports media have announced that part of the PSG locker room, led by Ousmane Dembélé and the returning Presnel Kimpembe, is starting to get fed up with “Lucho”. The latter is also said to have difficulties with certain players, including Gianluigi Donnarumma, Marco Asensio and Fabian Ruiz, to name a few. While the Parisian house is starting to catch fire, the Parisian management is maintaining its confidence in its coach for the moment, as assured by La Chaîne L’Equipe yesterday evening.
NAK is clear on Mohamed Salah
On the other hand, the club’s masterminds have clearly realized after the defeat in Bavaria that the group will need to be reworked. This will start in January and continue during the summer of 2025. In recent days, a first flashy name has been pulled out of the hat, namely that of Mohamed Salah. Author of a good start to the season at Liverpool, since he scored 13 goals and delivered 11 assists, the Pharaoh will be free next June. But it will be possible for him to discuss with the club of his choice from January. An opportunity that Paris would therefore like to seize.
Especially since the main interested party recently specified that he had not received any news from the Reds concerning his future. If the way seems open, PSG is not going to rush into the breach. This Tuesday, Nasser Al-Khelaïfi decided to break his silence to discuss the news of Paris Saint-Germain. And it is in Germany, at the microphone of Sky Germany, that the president of PSG decided to speak about Salah.
“It is not true. He is a fantastic and incredible player, but we have never considered him, to be honest. We know that all the clubs would like to have him, but this rumor about us is simply false. If there is an opportunity, we will explore it of course.” The message has been received.
