Explanations. If the summer of 2021 has been particularly productive in the direction of arrivals at PSG with the recruitments of big stars such as Lionel Messi, Gianluigi Donnarumma , Sergio Ramos or even Achraf Hakimi, Leonardo however, did not reach its sales target which had been set for this period. Indeed, one of the main missions of the sports director of PSG remains, to this day, to downsize the club's workforce in the capital and reduce the payroll. And to do so, he would have already activated the major maneuvers internally by targeting his main unwanted … As revealed by Foot Mercato this Friday, the direction of PSG would have drawn up a list of seven players who will be pushed towards the exit during the transfer window of January, and the club of the capital hopes to sell some to the minimum three. Sergio Rico , which finds itself without any prospect of the future with the alternation set up between Gianluigi Donnarumma and Keylor Navas , is particularly concerned and the PSG hopes to be able to place him in Spain. In the defensive sector, several elements such as Thilo Kehrer, Abdou Diallo or even Layvin Kurzawa, all luxury replacements within the capital club will not be selected in the event of a good offer this winter. In addition, several midfielders are affected by the trend of a departure from PSG such as Leandro Paredes as well as Rafinha , who has a very limited playing time under the orders of Mauricio Pochettino . And finally, in the offensive sector, Mauro Icardi also finds himself pushed towards the exit. The hypothesis of a return to Italy, mainly to Juventus , seems very likely for the Argentine striker who would then get closer to his family. But FM specifies that his entourage would also try to place him in other stables such as Newcastle, the FC Barcelona e , or even Tottenham . The list is therefore long on the sales targets of PSG for the winter transfer window , but what will happen in the direction of arrivals? Mauricio Pochettino spoke on this subject this Friday at a press conference, and the Parisian coach made it clear that he would not ask for any reinforcement: “I am not waiting for signatures at the truce winter. I didn't talk about that after the Nice match. This is not the time to talk about this at all. When the time comes, we will discuss with the club to see if there are needs in the team but we are far from that “, said the coach of PSG . The time therefore seems especially for the degreasing on the side of the Parc des Princes …
