Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly looking at two players to back up Achraf Hakimi and Nuno Mendes. However, if the capital club does pursue them, it will face competition from a couple of Premier League clubs.
This summer transfer window, the reigning Ligue 1 champions were linked to Feyenoord’s Lutsharel Geertruid. Nonetheless, at one point, this rumor cooled, but now in recent days, new information on this file has surfaced.
Moreover, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently reported that Aston Villa has now joined the chase, aiming to strengthen their defense by targeting Geertruida for the 2024-25 season.
Journalist Romain Collet-Gaudin provided new information regarding PSG’s interest in Geertruid and revealed that the French giants are also considering another left-back. According to Collet-Gaudin, PSG are staying busy, targeting left-back Bradley Locko and Geertruid.
