The lasttransfer window saw Paris Saint-Germain make arguably the best business in recent years by landing the likes of Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Georginio Wijnaldum, amongothers, to boost an already powerful squad headlined by Neymar and Kylian Mbappe.
While the addition of so many talented players immediately made PSG heavy favorites for the biggest prizes at stake this season, including the elusive UEFA Champions League, it has also had a significant impact on their wage bill.
Besides, Mauricio Pochettino suddenly found himself with far more players than he’s capable of selecting game in and game out, as there’s not room for everyone. That’s why Paris are reportedly willing to let a number of players leave, and one of them seems to be on the vergeof moving to Spain.
