Layvin Kurzawa is set to sign a new deal with PSG, despite it looking like he was on the verge of leaving the Ligue 1 side. With a contract expiring this summer, the defender had been free to speak to other clubs and agree a new deal as a free agent.
France Football reports Arsenal had ‘very advanced’ contacts to sign Kurzawa during the winter market, presumably willing to pay a small fee to PSG to get the player before he became a free agent.
That appears to be what prompted PSG”s Leonardo to offer Kurzawa a new contract. With clubs like Arsenal, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan and Juventus all showing some level of interest this year, the French side were given a nudge to secure him themselves.
Kurzawa could even sign his new contract today, with his wages being increased to around €3m per season after tax.
