Thomas Tuchel express frustration over PSG's transfer window activity

Red Star Belgrade v Paris Saint-Germain - UEFA Champions League Group C

Tuchel is not pleased with the way PSG approached the winter transfer window and has aired his grievances to the press. He took a dig at PSG sporting director Antero Henrique.

Tuchel said,

“If you are asking if I am completely satisfied overall, no, I am not,”

“I am not angry about the transfer window. January is always super complicated. Who wants to lose or sell a player? Nobody does.

“I understand that the January transfer window is not easy. Antero and I work closely together during transfer windows, but he has his ideas and I have mine.”

It seems like there is some disquiet between the manager and the sporting director which is akin to the equation that Jose Mourinho had with Ed Woodward after a dull summer transfer window for the Red Devils.
