Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the president of Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), is reportedly determined to secure the next “Leo Messi” for the club, and he has set his sights on Juan Manuel Iturbe, a 20-year-old Argentinian-Paraguayan striker currently playing at Hellas Verona. Al-Khelaifi, who envisions a successful organization of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, is eager to bring in promising talents, and Iturbe has become PSG’s number one priority for the upcoming transfer market.
Iturbe, formerly with FC Porto, is seen as a highly talented player, and Hellas Verona secured his services on a paying loan with a purchase option of €300,000. The young striker has already made an impact in Serie A, scoring 2 goals in 3 matches this season. To facilitate the transfer, PSG would need to negotiate with Hellas Verona, as the Italian club holds the purchase option for Iturbe.
In addition to Iturbe, PSG is also reportedly interested in Jorginho, also known as Jorge Luis Frello, another promising player from Hellas Verona with Italian-Brazilian roots. The potential acquisition of these talented players reflects PSG’s commitment to strengthening its squad with emerging stars.
