PSG begin to sell players in order to finance De Ligt transfer
The French giants hope to bring in 25 million euros for Diaby and Weah as they want to avoid any further problems with Financial Fair Play
PSG have begun plans to overhaul their squad this summer by quickly organising two sales. Moussa Diaby and Timothy Weah are expected to leave the club in the coming days as the French club looks to balance its books before confirming the signing of Matthijs de Ligt.
Diaby is expected to join Bayer Leverkusen for €15m and will retain 20% of any future transfer. The youngster is only 19 and PSG don't want to miss out on a major windfall should he find his feet in the Bundesliga. He'll play in the Champions League next season.
Weah, son of football legend George, spent the last six months on loan at Celtic but will sign for Lille on a permanent deal this month. The transfer will cost around €10m and he'll sign a five-year contract.
In France, they believe PSG will continue to move on underused squad members as they look to free up wages for major signings. They are desperate to avoid any more complications with FIFA over Financial Fair Play.
Those two sales would increase PSG's budget to €125m this summer as they look to secure the signing of de Ligt ahead of Barça.
