Posted on January 1, 2022 at 8:30 p.m. by Amadou Diawara With 35 players included in his squad, young shoots included, Mauricio Pochettino cannot give playing time to everyone. While the PSG coach has too many players available, Leonardo has identified several undesirable people to push towards the exit during this winter transfer window, namely Layvin Kurzawa, Sergio Rico, Mauro Icardi, Abdou Diallo, Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe and Colin Dagba . Leonardo was very active during the last summer transfer window. Indeed, the sporting director of PSG managed to offer several players to Mauricio Pochettino, while giving up some players who were not part of the plans of the Argentinian. Regarding arrivals, Leonardo hit very hard by recruiting both Lionel Messi, Sergio Ramos, Georginio Wijnaldum and Gianluigi Donnarumma for 0 €, taking advantage of their free player status. In addition, the PSG offered the services of Nuno Mendes in the final moments of the last transfer window in the form of a loan with option to buy and paid 60M € (+ 5M € bonus) for the transfer of Achraf Hakimi , as le10sport.com exclusively revealed to you. And to lighten up the group of Mauricio Pochettino, Leonardo let Mitchel Bakker go to Bayer for around € 7M and loaned both Arnaud Kalimuendo (RC Lens), Pablo Sarabia (Sporting), Timothée Pembele (Girondins de Bordeaux ) and Alphonse Areola (West Ham). But despite these departures, the PSG workforce is still far too full. When from the first part of the season, Mauricio Pochettino couldn't use all of his players regularly. While he has a group of 35 players, the coach of PSG had to make choices and do without a number of elements of his squad, which, for the most part, only had a handful of minutes to get their teeth into. In order not to find themselves in the same situation on the restart, PSG would have identified a list of undesirable players for the winter transfer window. Members of the Mauricio Pochettino groupwho should be sent to another club before the end of January to relaunch their season, or even their career. According to recent information from L'Equipe, seven players from PSG would be affected by this wave of departures: Layvin Kurzawa, Sergio Rico, Rafinha (who is on loan until the end of the season at Real Sociedad), Mauro Icardi, Abdou Diallo, Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe and Colin Dagba. According to L’Equipe, Leonardo would aim to get rid of three or four unwanted people during this winter transfer window. Little, if any, used by Mauricio Pochettino at the start of the season Layvin Kurzawa and Sergio Rico should therefore be pushed towards the exit, imitating Rafinha who is sent on loan to the Real Sociedad. According to the latest indiscretions of Foot Mercato, the former AS Monaco would also be followed by Naples, West Ham, Lazio, Inter and Juventus . While they do not impose themselves at all as full holders in PSG, Mauro Icardi and Abdou Diallo could also take off, and this, in the event of interesting offers according to L'Equipe. As for the Argentine striker, Juventus could be his next destination according to the Italian press. Finally, Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe (21 years old) and Colin Dagba (23 years old) could leave PSG by the end of the month of January to escape the competition, store playing time and get tough. As le10sport.com revealed to you exclusively, the first one will extend before being loaned. It remains to be seen whether Leonardo will find a point of departure for all these Mauricio Pochettino players.
