Market

Ilan Kebbal agrees terms with Atletico Bucaramanga

The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around Paris Saint-Germain people have started saying his name in the past tense.

Market

Only the photograph left for Jean-Philippe Mateta

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Jean-Philippe Mateta will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Paris Saint-Germain the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Market

Mathieu Guyot puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Paris Saint-Germain, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad

Nuno Mendes in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Paris Saint-Germain this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

Words at Paris Saint-Germain training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Willian Pacho is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market

Young Boys join the queue for Olivier Boscagli

Add another name to the list: Young Boys have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Olivier Boscagli. The answer from Paris Saint-Germain has not changed — yet.

Squad

Jean-Baptiste Olivier is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 17 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Boardroom

Belts tighten at Paris Saint-Germain

The accounts are being read more closely than the results. Wages before ambition is the order of business now, and the manager has been told so.

The dugout

When it matters, Désiré Doué plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Market

Paris Saint-Germain turn down Real Madrid for Vitinha

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Market

Terms done: Olivier Boscagli is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Rapid Wien waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Paris Saint-Germain is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

The dugout

Ilan Kebbal says Paris Saint-Germain went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market

Eyes on Willian Pacho again

The phone has started ringing about Willian Pacho again, and this time the name on the line is Real Madrid. Paris Saint-Germain are listening politely and promising nothing.

Squad

Désiré Doué in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Paris Saint-Germain this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Market

Tommaso Augello is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Paris Saint-Germain is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Squad

A row about effort at Paris Saint-Germain

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Nuno Mendes was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout

The manager makes an example of Nobel Mendy

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout

Nuno Mendes gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Nuno Mendes is on it.
