PSG forced to sell players in January amid interest from Serie A clubs

According to L’Equipe, PSG must cash in at least €100m from players’ sales in January and many stars have been put on the market, including Juventus target Mauro Icardi.

The Ligue 1 giants completed a stunning summer transfer window, signing the likes of Gigio Donnarumma, Leo Messi, Sergio Ramos, Achraf Hakimi and Georginio Wijnaldum.

However, they only collected €9m from sales, while the club had planned to get at least €180m.

Therefore, PSG must cash in at least €100m in the winter transfer window, according to L’Equipe.

The French paper reports that many players have been put on the market. Among them, former Inter captain Mauro Icardi.

The Argentinean is one of Juventus’ transfer targets for January, with the Bianconeri on the lookout for a new centre forward.

However, the Serie A giants can only sign players on loan with an option to buy.

Another former Inter player, Rafinha, is expected to leave the club and is reportedly in talks with Real Sociedad.

Julian Draxler, Abdou Diallo, Thilo Kehrer Layvin Kurzawa and Sergio Rico are also looking for an escape route from the Parc des Princes.

According to Sky Sport Italia, Serie A clubs are monitoring the situation and could make the most of PSG’s need to sell.
