Why PSG Should Pivot Away from AC Milan, Tottenham Transfer Target, According to Expert

 

Paris Saint-Germain will have to bolster their center-back position during the upcoming summer transfer window. Lately, rumors have been connecting them to several central defenders, including Alessandro Buongiorno from Torino FC.

The 24-year-old is on various clubs’ radars ahead of the summer, with AC Milan and Tottenham Hotspur among the teams reportedly having an interest. There were whispers about the Italian defender in the January transfer window, and now his name has popped up again.

PSG might be looking to bolster their defense, especially since Milan Skriniar’s future with the team is up in the air. Nonetheless, CBS Sports reporter Jonathan Johnson notes that if the Parisians do see Buongiorno in a good light, they should let him test himself at another prominent club.

“Buongiorno, as much as he is highly rated, he’s on a Torino side that’s not—I wouldn’t say particularly excelling right now in Serie A,” Johnson said in an exclusive interview with PSG Talk. “And I think he’s the player who would probably develop into a more serious target should he move to a bigger Italian club and then continue to impress from there.

A recent report suggests that €40 million might be enough to seal the deal for Torino’s standout defender, who’s tied to the club until 2028. Given the interest from several top clubs in the 24-year-old, the price tag is likely to rise, especially since Torino holds a strong position in the talks.

 

 

As the summer transfer window draws near, Paris Saint-Germain appears keen to reinforce its midfield position. Speculation abounds regarding potential acquisitions, with AS Monaco’s Youssouf Fofana emerging as a notable name linked to the French giants.

The 25-year-old player is potentially set for a transfer, as interest swirls around the Frenchman from both AC Milan and Arsenal. Yet, reports vary on whether PSG are also eyeing the Monaco standout, adding an element of uncertainty to the speculation.

With rumors swirling regarding Fofana, transfer window specialist Fabrizio Romano revealed the latest regarding the Frenchman. 

“I can guarantee that for Fofana there’s a lot of interest but nothing concrete at this point with Arsenal or any club,” Romano wrote in his latest column for CaughtOffside. “Fofana will decide his future in the summer, not now. So nothing concrete is happening at the moment. Arsenal have some priorities in the midfield and I can confirm the names I mentioned in the recent months such as Douglas Luiz and Martin Zubimendi.

“I’ve been impressed with Fofana’s performances so I’m not surprised he’s a name making headlines, but that’s just normal speculation that we always get at this time of year.”

Fofana, valued at €28 million by Transfmarkt, has played in 31 games, scoring three goals and providing three assists. The midfielder fits the French profile that the capital club want. However, could PSG be in the mix for a top-of-the-line midfielder like Bruno Guimarães?

Still, this could change once the summer transfer window opens in a few weeks and the offseason begins
