The French version of Goal today features a long story about the rest of Paris Saint Germain’s transfer window, claiming the club are working on several departures from the squad.
One of the players close to the exit door is said to be Idrissa Gueye. And it turns out that a return to Everton seems to be the strongest possibility on the table at this stage.
The report even recalls the interest from Galatasaray, who had representatives in France to convince the player. However, he didn’t want the move, and with one year until the end of his contract, PSG are in the urge of making money with his sale.
Goal claims that ‘the discourse has changed’ regarding a departure since the chase from Everton showed up. It’s said Gueye is indeed interested in moving back to the Toffees.
The report claims that talks between PSG and the Goodison Park side are ‘ongoing’, and makes it clear that the English club aren’t alone for the signing, as there are more sides interested in the midfielder.
Earlier this week, L’Equipe had already revealed that Everton made the ‘first contacts’ for Gueye, and it seems there’s now a green light from the player.
