«But with the management we are open to improving the team during each transfer window,» stated Luis Enrique at a press conference on the eve of PSG's Ligue 1 trip to Lens.
«During the transfer window we remain on the ball, open — but we don't need anyone,» he observed, after the club's signing of Brazilian defender Lucas Beraldo on January 1.
Of Beraldo, he said: «Inevitably he needs time to adapt. Over there (Brazil) it's summer, here it's winter. He's doing well, and is very mature for his age (20).»
«We are a family at this club, and are trying to get him settled in as quickly as possible.»
Another Brazilian, midfielder Gabriel Moscardo, is expected at PSG but has yet to put pen to paper on a deal after undergoing foot surgery.
PSG have several players injured, including defender Milan Skriniar, while full-back Achraf Hakimi is away on Africa Cup of Nations duty with Morocco and South Korean attacking midfielder Lee Kang-In is at the Asian Cup.
Also missing, injured, are Presnel Kimpembe and Nuno Mendes.
