The French press reported that Paris Saint-Germain put 11 players in the summer transfer market, although the task of finding a team for them or for some of them is difficult and complicated.

This complexity is due to the high transaction fees and high salaries they receive, especially since the market available to them is small and highly competitive.

It seems that these are instructions from new coach Christophe Galtier, who said in his press conference last Tuesday, "We have to reduce the team. You can't have players who rarely play throughout the season."

According to the newspapers "Le Parisien" and "L'Equipe", the management of the Parisian club has begun to implement the vision of the new coach.

The two newspapers mention that the midfield will be most affected by this sale, as there will be 6 players available for purchase or loan.

Among the 11 players stand out:

  • Argentine Leandro Paredes (28 years and two years from his contract) and the Parisian team wants 35 million euros in exchange for giving him up, which stopped Manchester United's interest in the player, according to the newspaper "L'Equipe".

  • Senegalese defender Abdou Diallo (26 years old and also two years remaining from his contract), repeated what happened with Paredes, so Tottenham excluded him from his accounts in favor of Barcelona player Clement Lenglet on loan.

  • Dutchman Georginio Wijnaldum (31 years and his contract runs until 2024).

  • Argentine Mauro Icardi (29 years old, two years from his contract also for two more seasons).

    Icardi earns about 9.6 million euros annually.

  • Left-back Levin Kurzawa (29 years old, whose contract extends until the summer of 2024 and barely plays) and earns 6 million euros annually.

  • Spaniard Ander Herrera (33 years old and two years left on his contract) earns about 8 million euros annually.

  • German Julian Draxler (28 years old and his contract runs until 2024) earns about 7 million euros annually.

As for the Brazilian star Neymar - who was rumored to be close to leaving the "Park of the Princes" - it is not for sale.

Galtier praised Neymar, 30, and considered - in his first press conference as a coach for Saint-Germain - that "a world-class player and one of the best players in the world, but we have to strike a balance."

"I want him to stay," he concluded.
