However, it is emphasised that both clubs have some work to do to agree on a fair valuation, with the two still far apart.Regardless, it’s difficult to imagine the Ligue 1 outfit staying resolute on their own internal valuation while agreeing deals for the likes of Maghnes Akliouche and Mika Godts.We just can’t see PSG looking to keep their No.29 in the squad when they’re looking increasingly stacked for wide options.
The player ultimately isn’t happy with his role under Luis Enrique, and the manager doesn’t want to rely on a footballer who wants out.This is a deal that will get done, we think; it’s just a matter of time.
