Paris Saint-Germain actively seeks a No. 2 goalkeeper to reinforce their squad. Sergio Rico is currently recovering from a horse riding accident, and the capital club needs a replacement. As a result, their attention is now on Sevilla star Yassine Bounou.
RMC Sport reports that the French giants have initiated discussions with the Sevilla shot-stopper. PSG recognizes the importance of having a reliable backup goalkeeper to compete and support their current No. 1, Gianluigi Donnarumma.

Une piste qui pourrait être facilitée par le besoin de vendre côté sévillan. Le prix pourrait se situer autour de 15M€@RMCsport

While the Italian goalkeeper is the starter, having internal competition will cause him to elevate his form. One of the criticisms that Donnarumma sees is having a poor foot game, so Bounou’s arrival could be the kick the 24-year-old needs to improve that aspect of his game.
As for the potential cost, the anticipated price for the transfer is estimated to be around €15 million. Sevilla’s financial situation and the need to sell players could potentially facilitate the transfer.
PSG’s proactive approach and the financial resources at their disposal make them an attractive destination for players seeking new challenges at the highest level.
