This January Transfer Window: Paris Sounds Good

There aren’t many transfer rumours lately that aren’t related in some roundabout way to Paris Saint-Germain. We’ve already covered the possible transfer of Leandro Damiao, and the long list of European teams who are hoping to sign him – a list which includes PSG. But the transfer of Damiao to France will depend on whether or not PSG can sign Hulk from Porto, who is also wanted by Chelsea, or if they can lure Alexandre Pato from AC Milan. At the moment, it looks like the latter story has the most truth to it, as Pato is thought to relish the chance to join a club on the way up in which he can be the star striker. Once they sign one of these Brazilians, then this will trigger the transfer of Guillaume Hoarau away from the club, possibly to Fulham.

PSG are set to be made all the more desirable to potential recruits by the flagship signing of David Beckham, whose time at LA Galaxy may be up, and also the acquisition of a continentally renowned manager in the shape of Carlo Ancelotti, and his left eyebrow.

Another player they have been linked with is Chelsea’s Florent Malouda. Malouda may welcome a return to France after being in and out of the Chelsea team under Andre Villas Boas, and the deal will mean PSG nab an experienced home grown player, and may let Chelsea go in unopposed for Hulk.

In the transfer merry go round it can usually take one significant transfer to kick things off, as clubs look to replace players leaving for pastures new, but PSG could spark a whole funfair this January as many players will see a club on the rise, with wages to match, and think that Paris Sounds Good (PSG – get it?)
