Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain yet again failed to make a mark in the UEFA Champions League in the recently concluded campaign. Despite investing heavily in talented footballers, an unexpected loss to a young Manchester United team in the knockout stages of the tournament will make the PSG management re-think its transfer strategy.
With the amount of talent at their disposal, another League title will definitely be on the cards next season. However, to fulfill the club's Champions League aspirations, Thomas Tuchel needs to make a few intelligent signings this summer.
Gianluigi Buffon and Dani Alves have left the club while Adrien Rabiot is certain to leave PSG as his contract ends at the end of this month. Hence, a few signings to replace these players also need to be made.
On that note, here are 3 players PSG could sign in the ongoing transfer window.
#3 Gianluigi Donnarumma
Paris Saint-Germain do have a long-term goalkeeping issue to deal with. With legendary stopper Gianluigi Buffon not deciding to renew his contract, Thomas Tuchel has France goalkeeper Alphonse Areola as the only senior goalkeeper in the squad. There are reservations about the Frenchman's form and it is the right time for PSG to invest in another stopper.
Donnarumma is one of the best young goalkeepers in the world right now and the Italian has already shown that he has immense potential in between the goal posts. Although PSG has also been linked with a move to David De Gea, the Spaniard would be an expensive option. Moreover, De Gea is nearing his 30's and has been in inconsistent form last season.
Hence, Donnarumma is the most viable option for PSG to invest in the current transfer market.
#2 Leonardo Bonucci
After a disappointing one-year stay at AC Milan, Leonardo Bonucci returned to Juventus at the beginning of last season. The 32-year-old Italian has displayed fine performances and has cemented his place in the team. He is a solid defender and his captaincy skills would be of help to any team.
Thiago Silva is close to 35 and to replace him, PSG will require a defender with similar qualities. Although the club was behind Matthis de Ligt, it would be wise if the club could invest in a proven commodity rather than a teenager at this point in time.
Bonucci has good experience in the Champions League and is a fine individual in the dressing room. PSG needs a change of atmosphere in the squad and Bonucci could be the man whom they could sign to start this change.
#1 Philippe Coutinho
While Angel Di Maria, Edinson Cavani, Kylian Mbappe and Neymar have done well for PSG on the attacking front, the club could need a few reinforcements in the upcoming days to solve a few issues in this department.
The futures of Neymar and Mbappe are yet to be settled, and although there is plenty of attacking talent on offer in the market for them to turn to in case of a departure of one of their prized assets, Barcelona's Philippe Coutinho could be an ideal option for Thomas Tuchel.
Granted, the Brazilian has struggled at Barcelona, but he is still a class act who has the ability to lead a club's attacking department. He is young and could be extremely dangerous on his day. Hence, PSG must try and sign Coutinho in this transfer window.
