Transfer Evolution at Paris Saint-Germain

The sultan's club Paris Saint-Germain, has now started to heat up with its new engine, an engine that is not as luxurious as the previous seasons. However, they are able to use it as needed, now Paris Saint-Germain are ready to fight in the League and their main target in Europe.

Pre-season results and the first title in the French Super Cup became the mental capital of Christophe Galtier's foster children, at the beginning of the season the combination of formations that Christophe Galtier continued to try during pre-season was slowly starting to bear fruit.

Paris Saint-Germain this time is really different even in terms of the game, this is of course in line with their promise to change the direction of the club. Paris Saint-Germain's way of building their club is now fairly well-organized, this is of course thanks to the arrival of the new carriages of Christophe Galtier, Luis Campos and friends.

Although their presence is widely underestimated, the steps of the Paris Saint-Germain revolution are now truly fulfilled by them, the execution has slowly been realized, including the purchase of players who are now starting to come to Paris Saint-Germain. wrong even though their quality is not popular can be pitted.

The permanent redemption of young Portuguese defender Nuno Mendes is Paris Saint-Germain's first transfer of the summer, the left-back being bought by Paris Saint-Germain from his old club Sporting CP for around forty million Euros. Mendes as a loan player last season was tried by Paris Saint-Germain under Pochettino in the left fullback position, he was always trusted in 37 matches he played in all competitions that position.

Paris Saint-Germain then searched for a creative player in the midfield, his name was fixed on the young midfielder of Porto Vitinha, he was then redeemed for a dowry of around forty million Euros.

It is undeniable that Vitinha's creative instincts from Porto's midfield have often troubled the opposing defence, 47 times playing for Porto last season four goals and five assists. The incision is fairly promising as a player who is only in the position of Central Midfielder.

Paris Saint-Germain's third signing is young striker from Reims, Hugo Ekitike. Paris Saint-Germain went to the point of competing fiercely with other sultans Newcastle United for Hugo Ekitike, the jewel of the French future coming on a loan option with a redemption clause at the end of the season. Hugo Ekitike last season totaled eleven goals and four assists in twenty-six games.

The next PSG recruitment was Nordi Mukiele, a versatile defender from Leipzig, he was redeemed for a dowry of around sixteen million Euros. According to transfermarks this versatile player last season with Leipzig in 36 games he played, eleven times at right full back, eighteen times in right midfield, five times in midfield and once at left back.

This means that this player is very valuable for Paris Saint-Germain for squad depth rotation, following Mukiele the latest is the agreement that has been established between Paris Saint-Germain and Renato Sanches of Lile. The Portuguese dreadlocks midfielder finally chose Paris Saint-Germain over the offer of AC Milan, who was also keen to target him.

Positioned like Vitinha in the central midfielder, Sanchez to be the main choice for Galtier who incidentally had been his former coach while at Lille. Sanchez was reportedly bought for around 15 million euros according to Fabrizio Romano, the new signings are all smart buys in terms of the price, the long-term potential and the needs of the team.

The average age also tends to be very young, all the players who moved to Paris Saint-Germain are certainly not arbitrary, they are really targeted by the scouting team to patch the Paris Saint-Germain squad as needed. This means that he is not just buying, like the example of Nuno Mendes, he is lined up to be Paris Saint-Germain's main choice in the left-back sector after Larvin Kurzawa and Juan Bernard who are in that position are said to be less promising in terms of performance and their age is also quite old.

The presence of Vitinha and Sanchez will strengthen the depth of the Pivot Paris Saint-Germain, they will complement each other with Verratti and Paredes because we know that other Pivots such as Gueye and Wijnaldum are likely to leave Paris Saint-Germain.

The arrival of Mukiele has also greatly helped the defense and attack of Paris Saint-Germain, through the right sector he can be used by Galtier as a central defender if Kimpembe leaves. He can also be rotated as Hakimi's back-up on the right, meanwhile the arrival of Hugo Ekitike will be used as a super sharp striker for the Paris Saint-Germain striker.

He may occasionally be given fish minutes to play considering that he is still very young and needs flying hours, considering that Icardi is getting old and does not know what his fate will be, Hugo Ekitike is also the answer to the depth of the Paris Saint-Germain striker.

After the needs of the squad are met, then what are the results ..? During this pre-season Paris Saint-Germain have run four friendlies plus one French Super Cup match, the result is a 100% win for Paris Saint-Germain, seventeen goals and three goals conceded being Paris Saint-Germain's initial result with Galtier.

However, this is not entirely a parameter because it is only pre-season and the opponents tend to be weak. But what should be noted during this pre-season is that Galtier implemented a new concoction that has proven to work as directed. When many people said that Galtier would play a 4-4-2 formation according to his style, it turns out that he actually applied another formula during pre-season and the French Super Cup.

Galtier uses a three-back pattern with a 3-4-1-2 or 3-4-3 formation, which he mixes to balance the squad from both the defensive and attacking sides. In addition, the formation is also intended to accommodate the capacity of the players, especially their deadly trio Messi, Mbape and Neymar.

Messi is now more inclined to be placed behind the two front strikers, his vision and dribbling are able to come out nicely than when asked to run from the right sector by Pochettino. Moreover, because he is no longer young, with this formation the two wingbacks also went according to plan.

Hakimi's potential when he was a right-back wing at Inter came back out, as did Mendes on the left wingback who was able to adapt quickly. The trio of defenders at the back makes the balance of Paris Saint-Germain's defense even stronger, the trio of Kimpembe, Marquinoz and Sergio Ramos continue to be matured during pre-season, as backups there are Danilo Perera, Diallo and Mukiele. With such a composition, the solid defense of Paris Saint-Germain can be a guarantee.

It will be interesting to look forward to Paris Saint-Germain's progress with this new recruit and concoction, their first real test will be when at the end of August they face Lille and AS Monaco as well as in December when they host Nice, Lion and Marseille.

In addition, in September they are also busy with the champions league, from there we can only judge the success or failure of their new revolution.
