The seven stars that could leave the PSG in the current passes market

While the footballers and the coaching staff enjoy a few well-deserved days off with their families in the framework of Christmas and the New Year, work continues at the PSG offices with the intention to balance the finances of the club. The club has set itself the goal of selling for around 100 million euros in the current transfer market and for that it must part with some of the figures that are part of its rich squad.

In the last hours, the French newspaper L'Equipe published the names of the players who are closer to abandoning the club that marches as undisputed leader of Ligue 1 and that is also classified to the round of 16 of the Champions League League, where the faces will be seen with Real Madrid. Mauro Icardi , whom the European press has put in the radar of the Juventus of Italy, heads the payroll.

The departure of the Argentine striker of 28 years presents some problems since PSG wants to recover the 50 million euros he invested in his signing when he bought it to Inter Milan. Today, the footballer's market price would be around 30 million euros and, in fact, from Turin they do not think about buying it, but in proposing a barter hand in hand for the Brazilian Arthur Melo. This condition does not It is the pleasure of Leonardo , sports director of the Parisian team, who wants to impose a mandatory purchase clause. These fluctuations have cooled negotiations in recent hours.

In addition, there is another relevant issue: the scarcity of strikers in the PSG. Despite the fact that he has not had as much experience as he would have liked, Icardi -along with Ángel Di María- is the great alternative that coach Mauricio Pochettino has behind the trident that They integrate Lionel Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mabppé. In fact, the coach was very complimentary of the former Inter in his last press conference, which would open the doors for him to continue at the club.

On the other hand, the first loss for PSG in this transfer market is about to be confirmed. Rafinha will leave the ranks of the team to join Real de España on loan. Although it is not a sale, the Parque de los Príncipes team would save a significant salary with their departure.

Who is also an option to leave the French club is the Spanish goalkeeper Sergio Rico, who has been relegated in the consideration for having in front of him two goalkeepers of the stature of the Costa Rican Keylor Navas and the young Italian Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The club will also insist on the departure of defender Layvin Kurzawa , who has already expressed his refusal to leave in previous transfer windows, something that cost him his presence in the team's matches. If he gives up on that idea, the Frenchman's future could be at Lazio in Italy. A somewhat similar case is that of the German Julian Draxler, who also does not want to leave Paris. However, the club's executives think that his file is very valuable and will try to negotiate it to achieve a good income of money to their coffers.

Finally, defenders Thilo Kehrer and Abdoy Diallo also have high chances of packing their bags. The pass of each one of them is valued at around 25 million euros and none would look with bad eyes on the fact of looking for new directions to have more filming.

Negotiations for these players don't even rest during festive times. In the club's desks they do the math and think about how to cover that red of 100 million euros. In case of not obtaining the funds with the player transfers, the amount must be covered by the funds of the Qatari shareholders. On the other side, on the green grass, is Pochettino, who is also awaiting these definitions to find out how his squad will be made up for a 2022 full of goals to achieve.
