Despite being one of the biggest spenders in Europe in the January transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain have lost Neymar to injury at a crucial point in the season and risk being undermined by tensions behind the scenes. However, PSG remained light in that area with contract rebel Adrien Rabiot frozen out, and sporting director Antero Henrique spent the final days of the transfer window trying to add another signing. Meanwhile, PSG reportedly pulled the plug on a move for Argentine playmaker Luciano Acosta of DC United. “The winter window closed amidst total confusion for Paris Saint-Germain,” said Le Parisien on Friday. As well as the change in coach, it was a chaotic January at the Stade Louis II, with eight players arriving in the transfer window and another eight leaving.
