Neves and Kimmich, PSG's new midfield duo?

As of this summer transfer window, aside from Matvey Safonov, PSG has yet to secure any new signings. However, the Parisian management is close to finalizing the transfer of Joao Neves. The 19-year-old Portuguese player might not be the only one to bolster the Rouge & Bleu midfield.

Joao Neves’ transfer to Paris Saint-Germain is expected to be officially announced soon. The young Portuguese talent will strengthen Luis Enrique’s midfield but might not be the only addition to this area.

Neves and Kimmich, PSG's new midfield duo?

The Parisian leaders, looking to trim the squad, are considering signing a second midfielder. Jerdy Schouten’s name has been mentioned recently, but an older target from last winter is also reemerging: Joshua Kimmich.

According to Santi Aouna from Foot Mercato, "PSG has recently discussed with Bayern about Joshua Kimmich." This approach allows the Parisian management to gauge the conditions of Bayern Munich and the player’s expectations. If the Bundesliga club is open to transferring Joshua Kimmich, it is now up to PSG to decide whether to pursue this option further.

However, for the deal to proceed smoothly, PSG would need to offload some players from their midfield. In this context, a potential transfer of Manuel Ugarte to Manchester United would be beneficial for Luis Enrique’s PSG. Not only would it provide the club with additional funds, but it would also free up a crucial spot in the midfield.

The news from Monday is corroborated by @Djaameel_, a reliable source, who also reports contacts between PSG and Bayern Munich regarding Joshua Kimmich’s possible transfer conditions.
