bad news for Roma, the Netherlands … And PSG

Barely arrived in Italy, Georginio Wijnaldum already finds himself in the infirmary. The midfielder, who has only played 11 minutes in the league so far, will not play another for ” a long moment “said Jose Mourinho. And for good reason, the Dutchman suffers from a fractured right tibia. The Roman club did not give more information concerning the duration of his unavailability but such an injury leads to long months of absence. The Portuguese technician could start looking for a new midfielder. The name of Denis Zakaria (Juventus) is regularly mentioned in the Italian media.

Bad news for PSG

Arrived at the same time as Ramos, Donnarumma, Hakimi and Messi at PSG, the former Premier League resident is undoubtedly the biggest disappointment of the XXL recruitment carried out by the capital club in the summer of 2021. After having succeeded in to send the Dutchman to AS Roma in the form of a loan with an option to buy estimated at 8 million euros, Luis Campos, sporting director of Paris Saint-Germain, hoped that he finds playing time in order to increase its market value and thus be able to resell it at a good price. But for this option to turn into an obligation to buy, Georginio Wijnaldum must take part in half of the matches and the Louve club qualifies for the 2023-2024 edition of the Champions League. This injury could therefore upset the Paris transfer window in the medium term. According Sky SportsLeandro Paredes could join Juventus sooner than expected if Denis Zakaria was to replace Georginio Wijnaldum at Roma.

“In just two weeks, Gini has become one of us because of his human qualities and his qualities as a footballer that we already knew“, explained Mourinho. It is above all a huge blow for the player who wanted to relaunch in Serie A under the orders of the Portuguese. The latter could miss the World Cup in Qatar which begins on November 20.
