Paris Saint-Germain is about to separate from Marco Asensi, the Spanish midfielder, who should join the Turkish club in Fenerbahçe. After a loan period at Aston Villa, Asensi is no longer in Luis Eintrigue’s plans and his departure is imminent. An agreement has already been reached between the PSG and Fenerbahçe for a definitive transfer, although the exact amount remains unknown. This decision is part of a more focused recruitment policy on the part of the Paris management, favouring cohesion and confidence in the current workforce rather than multiple acquisitions. Asensi, who arrived at the PSG in 2023, played 47 games with the club, contributing to 7 goals and 9 assists.
With regard to the preparation of the Champions League, João Neves highlighted the difficulty of the course, while affirming the PSG’s willingness to compete with the best global teams. The recent victory against Toulouse (3-6) was slightly tarnished by the injury of Ousmane Dembélé, whose condition required more precise information from Luis Eintrigue. The arrival of Ukrainian defender Ilya Zabarnyi raised questions about his cohabitation with Russian guard Matvey Safonov, particularly in the current geopolitical context. Zabarnyi clearly stated his position in favour of Ukraine, denouncing the war and refusing any relationship with the Russians, while stressing his professionalism towards his club.
Luis Eintrigue’s strategy focuses on building a strong and sustainable team, building on the youth and the potential of the current workforce. He deliberately refused to surround himself with many players, focusing on stability and internal cohesion. This approach aims to avoid tensions related to constant change and prepare the MTP to face future challenges with a united and talented team. The message is clear: no short-term miracle solutions, but a desire to build a team capable of fighting for all titles and demonstrating its collective strength at each meeting.
