Paris also knows how to sell. This summer, the residents of the Parc des Princes managed to slim down as they hoped. Neymar was sold to Al-Hilal for a record amount (90 million euros not including bonuses). Leandro Paredes, Mauro Icardi and others also left. But Luis Campos still has several departures to settle by September 1. Indeed, there are still undesirables to be housed.
Expected departures
The first is Marco Verratti. The Italian is no longer part of the club’s plans. The midfielder, who has several options at the end of the transfer window, is getting closer to Qatar. Al-Arabi reportedly agrees with PSG, who have set their player’s starting price at €45m this summer. It remains to know the position of the player, who has an agreement with Al-Hilal. The Saudis offer him a 3-year contract with a salary of 52 million euros per year.
Paris also wants to part with Julian Draxler and his big salary. Few clubs have come forward, apart from Crystal Palace. Like the German, Georginio Wijnaldum has offered to terminate his contract in the capital. But the champions of France oppose it and want to recover a check. Al-Ettifaq, who wants the player, will therefore have to pay at the cash desk according to The Team. The Parisians also intend to replenish their coffers thanks to the sale of striker Hugo Ekitike.
Ekitike, an important file
Arrived a year ago, he is pushed towards the exit. Paris were hoping to include him in the Randal Kolo Muani deal. Especially since Eintracht Frankfurt wants Ekitike. But the latter does not want to serve as a bargaining chip and wants the two deals to be separate. The Frenchman takes the time to reflect, especially since AC Milan, West Ham and several clubs are on his trail. This is not the case of Juan Bernat, who has touches in Turkey.
Same thing for Keylor Navas, which does not panic the market. These 6 important departures will not be the only ones. Colin Dagba is approaching Auxerre where he should be loaned out. Ile-de-France residents will also settle the cases of young elements. Yesterday, they also found a way out for Ismaël Gharbi. He will be loaned without a purchase option to Lausanne Ouchy. Paris now hopes to separate from Édouard Michut and other young elements.). But they cannot all be loaned out since there is a limited number of loans per club.
