Mukiele, Kurzawa, Ekitike: PSG Faces Obstacles in Player Sales
PSG is aiming to offload several players during this winter transfer window, but as of now, no deals have materialized. Here’s a breakdown:
1. **Carlos Soler, Nordi Mukiele, Hugo Ekitike:** PSG has listed these three players for potential departures in the January transfer market. However, the challenges typically faced in winter transfers, including players’ salaries, are proving to be stumbling blocks.
2. **Hugo Ekitike:** The primary focus for PSG is the departure of Hugo Ekitike. The club has received a loan offer with a fee from Wolfsburg, albeit without an option to buy. Wolverhampton and Eintracht Frankfurt are also reportedly interested and might have an advantage in negotiations. Ekitike seems more open to joining a new club compared to the previous summer.
3. **Nordi Mukiele:** The situation with Mukiele, who is attracting interest from Bayern Munich, is currently at a standstill. While the player is reportedly keen on a move to Bayern, reaching an agreement between the clubs remains a hurdle.
4. **Carlos Soler:** Despite limited playing time, Carlos Soler is not considered transferable by PSG. His agents are exploring options, but the club sees value in retaining him.
5. **Layvin Kurzawa:** Ignored by coach Luis Enrique, Layvin Kurzawa is also on the list of unwanted players. His status is unclear as PSG seeks potential suitors.
6. **Renato Sanches:** Currently on loan at Roma, Sanches is no longer in the Italian club’s plans. Besiktas has shown interest in the Portuguese midfielder.
7. **Noha Lemina:** With a failed loan spell at Sampdoria, Noha Lemina might find a new opportunity at Wolverhampton, in Germany, or Italy.
The challenges of the winter transfer market, coupled with the financial aspects, are making PSG’s efforts to sell players a complex task.
