Transfers: PSG must find 40 million euros in the next transfer window and consider two players

It is now a well-known catchphrase. Last summer, an amount of 60 million euros was expected to help the balance sheets to look better. And this winter, the situation has obviously not changed. Between the crisis linked to the Covid-19 pandemic which pushes clubs to play in hollow stadiums and this sad affair of TV rights with the Mediapro fiasco, it could not be otherwise. According to L’Equipe, PSG must therefore still sell for at least 40 million euros this winter.

Paris is not really in good shape when it comes to finances. Like many clubs in the Old Continent and all L1 residents entangled by the non-payment of TV rights, the Parisian club has seen its deficit skyrocket this year. The sports daily thus evokes a figure of 200 million euros at the end of the season. What to shake more than one accountant of the club. So that the bill is not too salty, Leonardo will still have the same mission in the winter transfer window: sell to balance everything a little.

This summer, the Brazilian sporting director of PSG, however, had not really fulfilled his goal. Paris, which released many players at the end of their contract like Thiago Silva, Edinson Cavani and Thomas Meunier, only sold for five million euros by separating from Loic Mbe Soh at Nottingham Forest, in Championship. No one succeeded in particular in convincing Julian Draxler to leave his comfortable Parisian situation. It would be good to be more efficient during the next window of the transfer window to recover at least an envelope estimated at 40 million.

The team announces as well that two players would be on an ejection seat: Draxler obviously once again and Leandro Paredes. Which poses a few questions. Injured for a few weeks at the start of the season, the German only has six months of contract and should therefore not bring much to Paris even if the idea of ​​no longer having to pay his salary is already enough please the champion of France. And for the Argentinian medium – very appreciated in the locker room – it is more on the sporting level than it can question.

If Serie A where Inter Milan keeps an eye on him according to Gazzetta dello Sport has not forgotten, the former Roma and Zenit Saint Petersburg, estimated between 20 and 30 million, has found his place in the rotation of Thomas Tuchel, who aligned him in his starting XI in the last three matches of C1. His departure would surely not be to everyone’s liking at Camp des loges. Clearly, Paris has a little puzzle in front of it for the next transfer window.
