The capital club announced on Wednesday that Argentine international midfielder Leandro Paredes has been loaned to Juventus Turin with an option to buy. The departure of Paredes is part of the renewal of the Parisian midfield desired by the new sports management of the French champions, which took place this summer with the arrival of Louis Campos (football advisor) and Christophe Galtier (coach).
Paris have sold Dutchman Jorginho Wijnaldum, Spaniard Ander Herrera and young Eric Junior Dina Ibembe (21) in the middle, who left on loan respectively to Roma, Athletic Bilbao and Frankfurt, while the sale of Senegalese Idrissa Gueye is also at the end of the transfer period on Thursday at 11 pm . In the sense of signatures, Paris Saint-Germain brought Portuguese Venetia and Renato Sanchez, as well as Spaniard Fabian Ruiz.
Paredes (28) landed in Paris in January 2019 from Zenith St Petersburg (2017-2019) for 47 million euros after his first long stint in Italy (Chievo Verona, Rome, Empoli). The Argentine international and very close to Lionel Messi, won the America’s Cup with Albiceleste in 2021. With Paris Saint-Germain he reached the Champions League final in 2020 and won three French titles, the European Cup twice, France and the League Cup. At Juventus, he will notably find his former Parisian compatriot Angel Di Maria as well as Adrien Rabiot, with whom he had a brief spell at Paris Saint-Germain. The Parisians will also face the Bianconeri in the Champions League group stage on September 6 and November 2.
