PSG will have to sell before buying to convince Mbappé

If Mbappé yesterday sent an SOS to PSG so that they would give him a competitive projectAl-Khelaïfi counterattacked hours later assuring that the Parisian team will be financially ambitious in the transfer market. However, and as reported L'Equipe, the French giant will have to sell before trying to sign great players to convince the French international to stay in Paris.

Leonardo and Al-Khelaïfi's priorities are to recruit a right-back to start (Florenzi will not follow), a left-back to give Bernat competition and a midfielder who, ideally, has a creative profile and increase team variants in the core. However, the PSG economy has suffered a significant setback due to the coronavirus and losses have amounted to 300 million euros in the last year and a half.

The club has set itself a goal sell to players from various sectors, starting with Kehrer and Kurzawa in defense. The German has been a great handicap since his arrival, as he landed for 37 million from Schalke and his performances have been disappointing. Kurzawa, for his part, he renewed last year in a surprising way and is a stumbling block for PSG to reinforce the left wing. By last, L'Equipe also assures that Aréola, on loan this season at Fulham, will leave, but his high salary is an impediment for clubs that want to get his services.

Another of PSG's headaches when it comes to trying to sell are the cases of Mauro Icardi and Pablo Sarabia. The Argentine was the great investment of Leonardo in the last summer, paying 50 million for the forward, while the Spanish international, recently called by Luis Enrique for the dispute of the Eurocup, has hardly had regularity with Pochettino. The value of the former Sevilla is 15 million and in Paris they do not trust in being able to recover the investment by Mauro Icardi.
