The new calendar imposed by the coronavirus changes (a little) the game for the next games of PSG. Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani, who expires on June 30 in Paris, will not be fighting for the end of the Champions League with the capital's club.
Thomas Meunier will not be back on Monday
The announcement, which will not delight fans even if they suspected it a little, was made Saturday by the Spanish newspaper Marca . It was then confirmed by RMC Sport, which even added the case of Thomas Meunier. The defender has "also decided to leave PSG on June 30. The Belgian will therefore not be taking over the professional group next Monday ”.
Crowned champion of France at the end of a season stopped by the coronavirus, PSG must play the quarter-finals of the Champions League between 12 and 15 August. The club of the capital is also engaged in the final of the Coupe de France against Saint-Etienne and in the final of the Coupe de la Ligue against Lyon, two matches scheduled for the end of July.
Top goalscorer in PSG history
If the press information is confirmed, the departure of Cavani, who arrived in 2013 at the Parc des Princes, will be a real turning point for the club. Top scorer in PSG history, with 200 goals, the striker has lost his starting position this season in favor of the Argentinian Mauro Icardi, loaned by Inter Milan and then recruited definitively at the end of May.
Leonardo, sports director of Paris SG, formalized his departure at the end of the season in an interview with the Journal du Dimanche published last week, reserving the same fate for Brazilian captain Thiago Silva (35), also at the end of the contract. French defender Laywin Kurzawa and Cameroonian striker Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting, in the same situation, would have agreed to extend their lease to end the season, according to RMC .
