PSG need 100 million, Icardi the first to leave

But even PSG, owned by the Emir of Qatar, has to adjust the balance sheets put in trouble by the pandemic or even by the salaries of the stars. Thus, waiting to find out whether Mbappe will renovate or not, 100 million euros should be generated by June.

This is the amount to be secured from sales, according to L’Equipe giving the picture in the Parisian market, with Icardi first on the sales list. The former Inter captain is not going through a positive period, as he made a good figure in the first four months scoring goals, but then encountered difficulties with coaches Tuchel and then Pochetino.

Icardi is now a jeweler, a luxury replacement for Messi, Neymar and Mbappe as PSG have paid him € 50 million. The club officially put him on the market last summer, but his wife and agent Wanda opposed his departure.

According to L’Equipe the situation could evolve in the coming weeks, perhaps even on the Italian front, where Wanda Nara has more professional connections than in France where she has not yet managed to impose herself at the media level. It remains to be seen which teams will confirm the trust for a striker who has recently made talk of him more on social media than on the pitch.

And while PSG must convince its players to leave Paris, where they have working conditions and privileged wages compared to many other clubs, Paredes is on the way out, a hopeful starter who can be sold, but only if interesting offers.

PSG paid him 40 million euros 2 years ago. Out of Pochetino’s plans is also the left winger Kurzawa, who has been blocked by Bernat and Mendes and who has become a target for Lazio. The summer reinforcement with Hakim, has reduced to a minimum both the prospect of Dagba, and he in the market, like Kehrer.

Buyers are also wanted for Draxler, despite the recent renewal of the contract until 2024, while he can not be sure that the midfielder Pereira, who arrived only a year ago, will stay, the less the stay of goalkeeper Rico can be guaranteed, who can hardly find spaces with two colleagues like Navas and Donnarumma, and who has also been moved into hierarchy by the young Italian Franchi.

On the Mbappe front even according to L’Equipe, there is no news. The player prefers not to position himself at the moment, giving importance to appearances on the field. In recent days sporting director Leonardo confirmed that dialogue continues to remain open, with hopes of a renewal. PSG want to turn Mbappe into the star of the reference, and are ready to guarantee him the highest salary, paying him even more than Neymar or Messi, more than 30 million euros per season. One more motive to cash in in January.
