Milan Skriniar, central defender of Paris Saint-Germain, seems to be in transit. Arrived in Paris in July 2023, free of any contract, the player did not manage to settle permanently within the club despite a good start to the season. After 37 games, he was loaned to Fenerbahçe, where he confirmed his talent with 3 goals and 2 assists in 26 matches. His future at the PSG is uncertain, especially since a four-year contract with a substantial salary awaits him in Turkey. He currently resides in a hotel, without car or apartment, illustrating his situation in the capital.
At the same time, the Ballon d’Or race was launched, with several Parisian players among the contenders. Although Ousmane Dembélé and Lamine Yamal are considered to be the favourites, Ashraf Hakimi arouses the enthusiasm of Marouane Chamakh, who believes that the player deserves a great deal of this reward for his club performances. Chamakh stresses the importance of all Moroccan support for Hakimi, and believes that his victory would be exceptional for Morocco and Africa.
José Mourinho, coach of the Fenerbahçe, praised the Paris Saint-Germain and the work of Luis Enrique. He points out that the PSG won the Champions League despite the loss of his best player, a fact that reminds him of his own victory with Inter Milan without Zlatan Ibrahimović. Mourinho particularly appreciates the talents of Nuno Mendes and Vitinha, highlighting Mendes’ potential and the quality of the Paris field environment. He jokes about the influence of Jorge Mendes, the player agent, who seems to favor Lamine Yamal as the only real contender at Ballon d’Or.
