Paris Saint-Germain Transfer News: 5 Stars On Club's Shortlist

Paris Saint-Germain Transfer News: 5 Stars On Club's Shortlist

With Mauricio Pochettino's departure from Paris Saint-Germain being reported as imminent, here are five stars who have been heavily linked with the French giants.

Despite reclaiming their Ligue 1 crown from Lille this season, PSG's 10th league title could prove to not be enough to save Pochettino's job at the Parc des Princes going into the 2022/23 campaign.

Round of 16 exits in both the UEFA Champions League and the Coupe de France have tainted PSG's season, and the Argentine could soon pay the price for their inability to make significant progress in the cup competitions, especially the former.

With reports suggesting the ex-Tottenham Hotspur boss could be on his way out of the French capital, it seems the Ligue 1 champions will be looking to make wholesale changes to their squad, particularly in midfield.

According to Foot Mercato, the PSG chiefs are looking at reinforcing their options in the middle of the park as they look to make an impact in continental football next season.

RC Lens central midfielder Seko Fofana is reportedly a player being considered by Les Parisiens. The Ivory Coast international has bagged nine goals and two assists in all competitions for the French side, but PSG will face stiff competition for his signature, with Olympique Lyon also believed to be interested in acquiring his services.

A Paris native who has also attracted a lot of attention from the newly crowned Ligue 1 winners is Paul Pogba.

The French midfielder is yet to play professionally in his homeland, but with his Manchester United contract set to expire at the end of the season, the possibility to change this has increased exponentially.

With the likes of Leandro Paredes, Ander Herrera and Georginio Wijnaldum all failing to impose themselves under Pochettino, Pogba is said to be seen as a suitable replacement for the trio.

Another three players who are reportedly being considered by the French giants as options for their engine room are Sergej Milinkovic-Savic of Lazio, Inter Milan's Nicolo Barella and Kephren Thuram of Nice.
