DBasia.news – Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are preparing to open a new chapter after being eliminated from the 2021-2022 Champions League. A number of high-ranking Les Parisiens officials would most likely be sacked at the end of this season.
PSG again have to bury their dream of winning the Champions League. Steps Neymar and his team had to stop in the round of 16 after losing 2-3 on aggregate to Real Madrid.
This result in fact has made PSG officials frustrated. Their efforts to bring in first-class stars such as Gianluigi Donnarumma, Sergio Ramos, to Lionel Messi last summer seemed meaningless.
Two names that are almost certain to be kicked out are Mauricio Pochettino and Leonardo. Both served as coaches and sporting directors.
PSG have long been linked with Zinedine Zidane. But apparently, the French giants want to get rid of Leonardo first.
According to a report by TuttoMercatoWeb, PSG are targeting Fabio Paratici to replace Leonardo. He is currently serving as Tottenham’s sporting director.
Paratici does have a pretty good track record, especially in the transfer market. He is one of the keys to Juventus’ success in landing star players at low prices in the past.
PSG hope Paratici can make them save even more. Nasser Al-Khelaifi’s team is known to be extravagant in the transfer market.
From the same report, PSG representatives have communicated directly with Paratici. This is a sign that the 49-year-old man is interested in this challenge.
If he were PSG’s sporting director, Paratici would have the authority to choose a new coach. It is possible that Zidane would cancel joining.
