With the winter transfer market now open, PSG has made significant progress by officially signing Lucas Beraldo with Gabriel Moscardo’s signing expected to follow. The arrival of these two young Brazilians in January may evoke memories of past failed signings for PSG fans. However, Sporting Director Frederic Perrin is confident that history will not repeat itself this time.

Perrin reassures fans that the signings of Gabriel Moscardo and Lucas Beraldo are unrelated to the 2006 fiasco. He explains that the club’s approach has changed, with the recruitment team taking a more deliberate and calculated approach. The players have been monitored for a long time, and they are seen as long-term investments rather than quick fixes. For example, the club is willing to let Moscardo undergo surgery and be absent for three months, indicating their commitment to his long-term development rather than short-term gain.

This shift in transfer strategy reflects PSG’s focus on long-term player development. The club is prioritizing sustainable team building and learning from past mistakes. The goal is to avoid pitfalls of the past and create a strong and enduring team for the future. Time will ultimately determine the success of these new signings, but for now, PSG supporters can be assured that the club is taking a thoughtful and strategic approach to its transfer dealings.
