“One player who did leave was defender David Luiz, who headed back to Chelsea on deadline day, leaving Emery short of defensive cover”.

“I wanted [David Luiz], like all of the other big-name players, to stay here”.
Adrien Rabiot, a former Manchester City youth player, has hinted that he would be open to a move back to the English top flight after falling in love with the competition while in the Citizens youth ranks.
The French champions gave a first start this season to worldwide midfielder Blaise Matuidi after the former Saint-Etienne player saw a proposed transfer to Italian champions Juventus fall through. Five years ago, when I was the coach of Valencia and he was at Real Sociedad, I told my president to sign him. That’s what I said to the club.
The France worldwide midfielder was the subject of reported interest from Juventus and Manchester United during the transfer window but PSG did not want to sell.
“Who is the best player when it comes to applying pressure and winning the ball back?”
However, Antonio Conte wanted the experience of Luiz, and Chelsea abandoned their interest in the 21-year-old Frenchman, but Kimpembe stressed that he had no plans to leave the French champions in the summer.
“Jese can play in attack, he is versatile and [Jean-Kevin] Augustin is young and ready to grow”.
The Belgium worldwide said that David Luiz’s exit changes little for him, directly, in terms of a starting role but could benefit him if Aurier spends more time playing in the middle. It’s Matuidi. It was important that he stayed with us. “And it’s hard to sign a very important player who will compete with him”.
The result felt worse for the PSG faithful following their 3-1 defeat at Monaco in their previous league match on August 28.
“I love this country, even though people often try to get me to say mean things about France and Ligue 1”. This is my work and my motivation.
