Determined to separate from several players this winter, PSG could facilitate the departure of Layvin Kurzawa, which arouses the strong interest of Lazio Rome who is looking for a reinforcement at the left-back position.
” The sales ? Myself, I admitted that I was not good at sales. There aren't too many buyers today. In other clubs, too, some players do not play. It's normal to have 25 players. And if a player doesn't walk, he doesn't have a market. This declaration is signed Leonardo at the microphone of Europe 1 on December 19. The sporting director of PSG therefore recognizes that his main flaw concerns the sale of players, which is a problem since the priority of the Parisian club this winter will be to sell. And for good reason, the PSG needs to balance its accounts but also to alleviate a bloated workforce. With this in mind, Rafinha joined the Real Sociedad in the form of a loan without an option to buy after a first season during which he played little. Abdou Diallo could also leave since AC Milan seems very interested in his profile. Other players are announced starters like Mauro Icardi , Colin Dagba or Sergio Rico . But the hottest case seems to be that of Layvin Kurzawa .
Lazio steps up for Kurzawa
Indeed, the former Monegasque is the player in the professional squad who has been least used by Mauricio Pochettino until then. Layvin Kurzawa has played only 9 minutes since the start of the season, during the Champions Trophy lost against LOSC at least in August (0-1). Since then, the French international has not appeared in the PSG jersey. Barred by competition from Nuno Mendes , Juan Bernat and even Abdou Diallo , who is a center-back by training, Layvin Kurzawa could therefore leave this winter. And according to information from Il Messaggero, Naples would do the forcing to attract the former Monegasque. According to the Roman daily, PSG will even facilitate the departure of its player by accepting a loan with an option to buy by taking over part of the salary of Layvin Kurzawa . It is necessary that it is the income of the left side which represents the main obstacle in this case. The native of Fréjus has received around € 4m net per year since his last extension until June 2024 and few clubs are able to afford such a salary. The Lazio Rome therefore seeks to part with certain undesirable people like Denis Vavro and Vedat Muriqi in order to be able to take action . But Il Messaggero leaves some optimism about the outcome of the soap opera Kurzawa .
