PSG eyes Olympiacos' Mouzakitis, vying with giants Real Madrid and Man Utd for the rising 19-year-old midfielder.
For three years, PSG has decided to bet on recruiting young talent. It reportedly targets Christos Mouzakitis, a 19-year-old defensive midfielder for Olympiacos.
Since Luis Enrique's arrival on the PSG bench, the capital club has changed its approach to recruitment.
Gone is the purchase of superstars; now, the focus is on recruiting promising young players who can break out wearing the Rouge et Bleu jersey. Parisians have been associated with many players in recent weeks. According to Greek media Sportime, PSG is interested in Christos Mouzakitis.
According to this source, PSG recently sent a scout to observe the Olympiacos defensive midfielder (19 years old).

The latter pleases both Luis Campos and Luis Enrique, according to Sportime. Despite this move by the observer, PSG is still far from receiving an offer or entering discussions about a possible transfer, according to Greek media.
But the situation regarding the gem could quickly evolve, as Christos Mouzakitis is also in the sights of Real Madrid and Manchester United. The Greek international is reportedly valued at 25 million euros. This season, Christos Mouzakitis has participated in 30 matches across all competitions with Olympiakos (three assists).
Mouzakitis has established himself in the starting lineup week after week this season with Olympiacos, but he broke through last season, playing 36 total matches and recording two goals and five assists. Over the past two years, he played for the Greek club's reserve team.
