PSG signs Abdou Diallo from Borussia Dortmund
The PSG has acquired the services of Abdou Diallo, a central defender from Borussia Dortmund. Therefore, Leonardo, sports director of the French club, has accomplished his objective of strengthening the defensive area, specifically the central axis, where he believes Thiago Silva's participation will gradually decrease.
With the captain of PSG, in addition to Marquinhos, the Guinean player will have two great mentors in the rearguard of the team led by Thomas Tuchel. The deal has been closed for €32 million plus €2 million in variables, according to Kicker. Therefore, it will be necessary to wait and see how 23-year-old Diallo settles in a project that aspires to win everything.
Undoubtedly, it is a magnificent move by PSG. The current Ligue 1 champion needed to rejuvenate their squad, as well as strengthen their defensive line, especially after the setback in the Champions League against Manchester United. Abdou Diallo arrives with excitement and enthusiasm to a team that wants to make that necessary leap in the Old Continent.
As for Borussia Dortmund, they had covered themselves with the return of Mats Hummels from Bayern Munich. The amount received for the transfer of Diallo can be used for another signing to further improve the squad led by Lucien Favre. Will the center-back succeed at PSG?
The Paris Saint-Germain is happy to announce the arrival of Abdou Diallo to the club! #WelcomeAbdou
