PSG are looking to show a number of players the door this summer, and Julian Draxler falls into that category.
The French club have been open to his sale for a while, but he’s been against it, liking his life in Paris and feeling he can be a useful part of PSG’s squad. Now, things are a little different, with more pressure being put on the player to find himself a new club.
Le10 Sport report Newcastle United have made initial contact for the signing, and they say the situation has gone beyond a mere expression of interest.
Nevertheless, ‘discussions are underway’ for the potential switch, and there’s certainly a deal there to be done. Newcastle will likely find it harder to convince Draxler himself than PSG, and that’s where the serious work will need to be done.
