Paris St Germain (PSG) will not rush into the transfer market even after the injury to striker Goncalo Ramos, manager Luis Enrique said on Thursday, with the club unwilling to pay over the odds for any player.
Ramos injured his ankle in last weekend's 4-1 win at Le Havre and is expected to be out for up to three months, a major blow to a team which already needs to find a goal scorer to replace Kylian Mbappe after his departure to Real Madrid.
"It's a shame, it's always sad when you lose a player, but it doesn't change anything. We have a very good team, I have great confidence in all the players who make up my squad," Luis Enrique told reporters ahead of Friday's game with Montpellier. "We already have a team here which won the league, so we are observing the transfer window and we will see if a player comes up at a normal price.
"If it is a silly price, we won't. We are not in a rush." The manager explained the difficulties for a club like PSG when they do look to buy a player, or anything else for that matter."When a big team like Paris Saint-Germain has to buy a washing machine, instead of four euros it costs 400, and then the washing machine has to work like a washing machine that costs 400 euros, but it only cost four euros," he said.
"But we have already worked well last year with magnificent arrivals and this year I already have a team that has improved in all areas."So we have no emergency, I repeat, no emergency, but I repeat, we are always attentive and likely to improve things at the same time."
PSG host Montpellier, and last season had a 3-0 win at Parc des Princes and beat them 6-2 away from home, but the manager is not expecting an easy game."It's difficult because it's the beginning of the season, there is no team that is 100% yet," he said."But we have a lot of hope, we are very motivated, tomorrow's match means getting back in touch with our supporters and we hope to win at the end and that the fans have a good time, that's our goal."
