At the end of the season, Kylian Mbappé could freely leave PSG. This would necessarily entail an in-depth search to find a successor for him. But at the same time, Leonardo could have big decisions to make this winter in the direction of departures with Mauro Icardi or Georginio Wijnaldum, not to mention the various extensions discussed behind the scenes. But in your opinion, what should be the operation favored by the sporting director of PSG? This is our poll of the day!

In the offseason, Leonardo has managed, by working together with the decision-makers of PSG , to considerably strengthen the workforce of Paris Saint Germain . Through agreements made with four players who had free agent status, the loan of Nuno Mendes and the transfer of Achraf Hakimi , the Paris Saint Germain was able to strengthen each line of the Mauricio Pochettino squad. However, during the same transfer window, PSG saw only Mitchel Bakker, transferred to Bayer Leverkusen and Pablo Sarabia loaned to Sporting Lisbon , leave the capital club. This could lead to a slight downsizing of the workforce this winter, as Foot Mercato recently explained, citing in particular Leandro Paredes as a starting potential. A rumor that the main interested party denied, explaining that he was at PSG who would also ask questions about an extension of his current contract until June 2023. The Parisian has also confided on this subject that a decision will be taken at the end of the season when for Angel Di Maria and Marquinhos , it would go well behind the scenes for their respective contracts to be renewed.

Between extra time and departures, Leonardo has his work cut out for him!

Coming back to the potential starters, PSG would be likely to see Mauro Icardi leave the club in the capital … from the winter transfer window. This is indeed what Foot Mercato unveiled during the day on Saturday, referring in particular to the research of its representative and partner Wanda Nara for a return to Italy when the < strong> Juventus would always keep a watchful eye on his situation. The Turkish media Fotomac, for its part, has expressed a still concrete interest of Galatasaray for Layvin Kurzawa , like the last summer. Struggling to integrate into his new club, Georginio Wijnaldum is also a potential starter according to various sources. Leonardo and the sports management of PSG could therefore experience a particularly hot winter, not to mention the Kylian Mbappé file for whom, in the event of non-extension, a successor would have to be found.
