Luis Enrique addressed the transfer market on Saturday in a press conference, and the acquisition of a defender seems to be drifting away.
Three more days in the transfer window, and no defender in sight. Leny Yoro probably won’t come, and other potential signings also appear to be fading. Nordi Mukiele will likely stay to add depth, even if Luis Enrique doesn’t rely heavily on him. Milan Skriniar is injured, and Achraf Hakimi will return from AFCON in February. In the meantime, the Spanish coach is making do with what he has.
However, Luis Enrique emphasized that he won’t sign players just for the sake of it. He insisted that it’s easier to strengthen the squad in the summer. « Do I want defensive reinforcements? To be honest, I think you have to do your homework in the summer for the transfer market. There are more concrete possibilities to strengthen the squad in the summer. You always have to be open to changes. I am happy with my squad, » he said.
But with PSG, as usual, a last-minute surprise cannot be ruled out. After all, there are still three days left in the transfer window.
