Despite the competition, a PSG defender wants to extend

PSG signed two central defenders in a short time, during this transfer window, and one of the players already at the club, and evolving in this position, confirmed his intention to impose himself in the French capital, with increased competition .

After Milan Skriniar (28), it’s the turn of Lucas Hernandez (27) to join Paris Saint-Germain this Sunday. The left-hander, who passed through Atlético Madrid, left Bayern Munich for 47 million euros. Under contract for five seasons, the Frenchman is increasing the contingent of high-level central defenders, including Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe, Milan Skriniar, even Abdou Diallo, El Chadaille Bitshiabu and Nordi Mukiele, who is more of a right-back.

An extension after two recruitments?

Constantly injured last season (calf, hamstring then ruptured Achilles tendon), Presnel Kimpembe hardly played (15 appearances). The 2018 world champion, after the departure of Sergio Ramos, saw competition increase in the Paris squad, with two players also subscribed to the infirmary last season (31 games for Milan Skriniar but no meeting since mid-February; 11 appearances for Lucas Hernandez).

According to The Team, this increase in central defenders, admittedly often injured, does not call into question the future of Presnel Kimpembe in his training club. The 27-year-old Habs, who have just changed representatives, have resumed discussions about their future with Luis Campos. PSG would like to lower the Parisian Titi’s salary, while the defender’s contract ends in 2024. This could suit “Presko”, who is above all looking to extend his lease.

Rico gives his news

Finally, in a completely different register, the Parisian Sergio Rico, seriously injured in May, gave reassuring news on his account instagram : “I continue to work on my rehabilitation and improve day by day. I feel very lucky. I wanted to thank all the people who witnessed me and sent their love in these difficult days. Once again, thank you all and hope to see you again soon”.

The Spanish goalkeeper is linked to PSG for another season, like Presnel Kimpembe.
