May 14 French media footmercato reported that Paris Saint-Germain is moving towards the goal of the triple crown and is expected to create a historic season. The team has a balanced lineup, high morale, strong soldiers and united in the locker room. In terms of transfers, despite the team's excellent performance, Paris still plans to introduce fresh blood, especially strengthen the defense line.

Although Paris Saint-Germain is one of the best defensive teams in Ligue 1, it has also shown some fatigue over the long season. Lucas Hernandez has not yet recovered to his best form after being seriously injured, and captain Marginhos' physical fitness is no longer at its peak, while Jin Pengbe is injured. In addition, although Berardo is favored by Enrique, he seems to be too young to be competent for the main position.

Therefore, Paris Saint-Germain is looking for new defensive forces. Pacho, who was introduced from Frankfurt last summer for €40 million, has proved his worth, which has inspired Paris to continue to introduce young and powerful players.

Currently, Paris has set its sights on two young defenders under the age of 21: Bruges' Odonetz and Valencia's Mosquera.

Odonez, a fellow Pacho, performed well in Bruges and has attracted the interest of several clubs. Odonetz is strong, good at handling balls at high altitudes, and has excellent passing skills. According to sources, Paris Saint-Germain has visited the Ecuador international several times in the past few weeks (a total of 47 appearances this season, scoring three goals and one assist). Club Bruges priced him between 25 million and 30 million euros.

Another player who has attracted much attention is Moscarra, the 20-year-old Spanish U21 international is also an excellent central defender, fast speed, strong physical fitness and strong confrontational ability. As Valencia's defensive pillar (38 appearances this season and scored 1 goal), he may be sold due to the club's financial problems. Paris Saint-Germain is very interested in him and his future trends are worth paying attention to.
