PSG's potential fire sale: any players of interest?

[BBRBB]

Wages? other transfers in the last 3 years? Their finances are obviously nearly unlimited, but the FFP is a test of profitability, more about spening within ones means. £200m and £40m wages a year is a big deal, I would like to see their figures on profitability, especially commercial deals that arent paid for by the qatari government.

Big wages of Zlatan and Luiz were dropped and not replaced, PSG litterally didn't spend anything on the last 2 transfer windows while revenue keeps growing and was already posting a €15m profit in 15/16.

It's not hard to see how PSG can now afford to spend after being very reasonable for a few years.

Liverpool winning surely?

Yeah, I was just adding a little gravitas to the statement and fact I really wouldn't want ADM back here no matter what!

In hindsite, I should've said the only thing I'd like less than having him back would be the dippers winning the league!

We can sell without losing depth, the squad needs a bit of trimming down.

Here's the PSG roster with in black the players who are staying, in red those who can leave, and blue for the youngsters not expected to have significant minutes.

Keepers:
Trapp
Areola
Descamps

We're good with the numbers, only an upgrade to an elite keeper is possible (but unlikely).


Defenders:
Alves
Meunier
Aurier
Thiago Silva
Marquinhos
Kimpembe
Kurzawa
Berchiche
Georgen

One RB too many, Aurier is on his way out. A 4th CB should join, Juan Foyth is very close.

Midfielders:
Motta
Verratti
Matuidi
Rabiot
Krychowiak
Nkunku
Lo Celso
Pastore
Bernède
Callegari

If both Matuidi and Krychowiak leave one more senior midfielder may be recruited as Nkunku and Lo Celso are still prospects and Pastore plays a lot forward.

Forwards:
Cavani
Draxler
Di Maria
Lucas
Ben Arfa
Jesé
Guedes
Edouard
Bakebeck

If Neymar comes we have too many players here and must sell, especially with Pastore playing more often as a forward than a midfielder. Di Maria shouldn't need to be sold, but if he did he would be an important loss.

Out of those, I would say only Aurier and Lucas really make sense for United. Matuidi and Krychowiak might be worth it if the fees PSG ask for represent good value for money, but neither particularly help the balance of their midfield.
