Mercato: Herrera, a first thorn in the foot of PSG – Archyde

On this summer transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain wants to clean up its workforce with the desired departures of many undesirables. Place in the loft Parisian midfielder Ander Herrera refuses to pack his bags.

With the arrival of sports adviser Luis Campos, Paris Saint-Germain has taken a real turn in this summer transfer window. In addition to the choices made by the Portuguese in terms of arrivals, the capital club is also working to clean up the squad at the disposal of coach Christophe Galtier.

With this idea in mind, several players were designated as undesirable. And to push them to leave, the elements concerned even joined a loft outside the professional group.

Herrera intends to stay…

A strategy that has also paid off in some cases. For example, Georginio Wijnaldum has already taken charge of AS Roma and Idrissa Gueye is in advanced negotiations with Everton. But other cases look much more complicated. Indeed, according to information from the regional daily Le Parisien on Tuesday, midfielder Ander Herrera has absolutely no intention of leaving during this transfer period.

Yet sidelined since the summer tour in Japan, the former Manchester United player is determined to stay at PSG. Not entering into the plans of Spain coach Luis Enrique, the 32-year-old player does not have the pressure of having to relaunch the approach of the 2022 World Cup. And contractually, Herrera, linked until June 2024, has a very comfortable salary estimated at 650,000 euros gross per month.

A first problem, not the last?

If this will of the Iber is confirmed, it is a problem for the PSG. Ambitious on the transfer market with three recruits still desired (a central defender, a midfielder and a striker), Paris needs to trim its payroll. And we can imagine that Herrera will not necessarily represent an isolated case. Other players, such as Layvin Kurzawa, Julian Draxler or Mauro Icardi, will also be difficult to push out.
