PSG urge Liverpool to BUY outcast Draxler

Liverpool are being tipped to move for PSG outcast Julian Draxler in January.

French football expert Julien Laurens believes PSG want to sell the 24-year-old to help comply with Financial Fair Play regulations, after they spent a world-record £200million on Neymar in the summer.

“I'm not sure about the loan. I think they might have to sell him because of the rules of Financial Fair Play," he told ESPN FC.

"We know how much they have spent in the summer and although the news this week has been pretty positive coming from UEFA and Financial Faiy Play.

“But they still feel like they need to sell in January to balance the books even more if you want.

“Draxler is probably the player with the highest value in that squad along with Angel Di Maria and you could easily see one of them two, plus Lucas Moura, or Hatem Ben Arfa being sold in the winter in January.

“I think Draxler has a lot of clubs that like him, Liverpool for example.

“It was either PSG or Liverpool when he joined a bit more than a year ago and he chose PSG. So maybe Liverpool is an option for him.

“I think going back to Germany might be an option, Bayern Munich for example need players who can play wide because (Arjen) Robben and (Franck) Ribery obviously are not getting any younger.

“I think he will have the choice if he wants to go."
