Paris Saint-Germain tried to step up its efforts in the final hours of the transfer window, particularly in a bid to strengthen its defence. However, several targets pursued by the French capital club ultimately became unavailable, either because selling clubs refused to negotiate or because the timing was unfavorable.
PSG still wants to sign a defender before the transfer window closes this Tuesday evening at 7:59 p.m. That leaves only a few hours to complete a deal, but the task is proving difficult. According to PSGInside-Actus, Paris made enquiries about Marc Pubill, Javi Rodríguez and Guéla Doué. Although the situations were different, the outcome was the same in all three cases: no move could be completed before the market closes.
Pubill Blocked, Rodríguez Retained and Doué Already Committed
In Marc Pubill’s case, Atlético Madrid reportedly closed the door on a departure, with the defender considered not for sale by the Spanish club. PSG therefore could not take negotiations any further. The situation was different for Javi Rodríguez, as Celta Vigo reportedly did not have enough time to find a replacement before the end of the transfer window, making a deal impossible.
