The situation
PSG’s revolution has already begun. After the departure of Leonardo and the incorporation of Luis Campos, the current Ligue 1 champion aims to disengage the squad with the aim of making a competitive team that aspires to win the Champions League. It will not be an easy task, as many players who have all the ballots to leave have already declared that they have no intention of leaving PSG. If Luis Campos is in charge of making the signings at the club, Antero Henrique, who was already sports director of the Parisian entity until 2019, will do the sales work. The Brazilian, for example, was the one who sold Yuri Berchiche to Athletic in 2018 for €25 million and, unlike Leonardo, he has shown a sure value when it comes to negotiating player sales. According to L’Équipe, the favorites to leave PSG in the summer are four players: Icardi (with a contract until 2024), Draxler (2024), Paredes (2023) and Kehrer (2023). The Parisian team wants to get rid of them, but Paredes’ statements this week, confirming that he will continue in Paris next season, made it difficult for him to leave. Each one has a value of €20 million, figures affordable by many teams in Europe.
The details
One of the big problems to get them out of the French capital is the wages they receive. Paredes, for example, earns €2.5 million a month, a figure that forces PSG to mobilize to reduce its wage bill. The fact of being close to Messi could also make it difficult for him to leave, since the World Cup in Qatar begins in November.Those who will have more facilities to leave PSG are Colin Dagba, Abdou Diallo, Gueye and Kurzawa, inconsequential players for the sports management and who have not finished settling in the club. According to L’Équipe, the four are willing to accept PSG’s claims and will leave if an interesting offer arrives. Others like Ander Herrera, Wijnaldum, Danilo Pereira and Keylor are also on the starting ramp.
