The Argentina superstar is close to signing for the Ligue 1 giants on a free transfer, and that could see the former Bolton star’s prediction come to pass
Ahead of Paris Saint Germain’s (PSG) Champions League clash against Manchester City last season, former Super Eagles captain tipped the French side to win Europe’s biggest club competition very soon.
Okocha played for PSG for four years, earning a legendary status for his performances, and he believed the club was close to winning the title they craved most.
In an interview on Canal+ per ItaSportPress, Okocha said: “I think PSG are working very well. They are almost where they want to be as they are getting closer to their goal of winning the Champions League,” the retired playmaker told Canal+ as per ItaSportPress.
“They have laid a good foundation because all the great players want to play for PSG. I think they have to maintain these results and stay at the top.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men did not win the Champions League last season as they lost across two legs to Man City in their semifinal clash.
However, this season, all that may change thanks to the little addition of a player called Lionel Messi. It’s no more a secret that the six-time Ballon d’Or winner is no longer a Barcelona player.
The Argentina international had spent all his career at Barcelona, but his contract expired at the end of June. It was initially hoped that he would sign a new deal, but the Catalan giants announced they could not sign him due to financial obstacles.
