Unusually, and indirectly, Paris Saint-Germain provided great assistance to rival Barcelona, by successfully snatching a big deal that was about to join the Catalan team in the Mercato last summer.
Paris Saint-Germain indirectly helped the young Barcelona duo, Nico Gonzalez and Jaffe, to shine with the Catalan club this season.
According to the Spanish newspaper Mundo Deportivo, the reason for this is due to Paris’ success in kidnapping Dutchman Jenny Wijnaldum, the former Liverpool midfielder, after signing his free transfer contracts to Barca.
And the newspaper close to Barcelona indicated that if Wijnaldum ended up in Barcelona, it was not known what would happen to him in the era of his compatriot Ronald Koeman, the former coach of the Blaugrana, but what is certain is that his presence would have meant depriving Gavi and Nico of several minutes by obtaining a place in the Blaugrana starting lineup.
The newspaper said that the French club Paris Saint-Germain indirectly helped the young Barcelona duo, Nico Gonzalez and Jaffe, to shine with the Catalan club this season.
She explained that, according to her, the meaning that Nico and Jaffe did not get the minutes they got this season, closed the door to the idea of developing and improving and showing their abilities on the field with the team this season.
Mundo stated that Wijnaldum has become part of the past for Barcelona, knowing that he is suffering in all its forms in Paris, where he made 13 basic participations with coach Mauricio Pochettino this season, knowing that in Liverpool he participated in 38 games without missing any meeting last season.
