Luis Enrique accelerates PSG's plans with Kvaratskhelia's replacement
The season is very long between all competitions, and we need to go to the market to bring reinforcements due to the injury of the Georgian.
Luis Díaz, Colombian winger aged 29 from Bayern Munich, appears as a possible alternative for the transfer market of Paris Saint-Germain ahead of January 2027. The serious injury to Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who likely won't play again this season, forces Luis Enrique to consider attacking reinforcements. The Colombian could fit into his plans, although there are no confirmed negotiations yet.
PSG needs to cover the absence of the Georgian international, who suffered a rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee against FC Barcelona. Díaz is also injured, but his return is expected after the international break in November, which would allow for an evaluation of his situation before the market opens.

Luis Díaz, an alternative to strengthen Paris Saint-Germain
The interest of Paris Saint-Germain in Luis Díaz would not be new. The attacker had previously been linked with the French club, which may now reconsider his acquisition due to Kvaratskhelia's prolonged absence.
The Colombian arrived at Bayern Munich from Liverpool in the summer of 2025, in a deal worth around 75 million euros. His contract runs until June 2029, a factor that would complicate any negotiations during the upcoming winter. Luis Enrique is looking for the new Kvaratskhelia
This season, Díaz has recorded five goals and one assist in 11 official matches. These numbers reflect his involvement in the German attack before suffering a muscle injury against Arsenal on October 21.
The player has already begun to work individually with the ball, and Bayern's medical staff continue to monitor his recovery. It is anticipated that he could return to competition in the second half of November.
Bayern Munich seeks another winger for its squad
The potential operation will also depend on the movements of the German club. According to Sky Germany on November 5, Bayern is closely monitoring Oskar Pietuszewski, an 18-year-old Polish winger playing for Porto.
The attacker has a contract until 2031 with a release clause of 60 million euros. Bayern sees him as an option to strengthen their attack in the summer of 2027, although he would initially arrive to compete with Díaz and provide an alternative on the left wing.
Therefore, his potential signing does not guarantee the departure of the Colombian. The German club would need to evaluate a proposal for Luis Díaz and find a solution that does not weaken their squad mid-season.
Luis Enrique needs solutions for his attack
Meanwhile, Luis Enrique is considering various options to strengthen the team in France. Another name linked to PSG is Mika Godts, a winger from Ajax, who could also be part of the attacking planning.
Kvaratskhelia's injury forces the coach to manage the minutes of his attackers during a season filled with commitments in Ligue 1 and Champions League. Adding another winger would increase the available options.
The decision regarding Luis Díaz will depend on two factors: his recovery during November and Bayern Munich's willingness to negotiate in January. If Paris Saint-Germain decides to move forward with his signing, they will first need to check if there is room to reach an agreement with the Germans.
