Bengaluru, August 18: The transfer window is a strange time of the season which never fails to surprise us. Just a few days after Paris Saint-Germain stunned the world by acquiring Neymar from Barcelona on a world record fee, they are now keen to part ways with Julian Draxler if reports are to be true.

The French media claim that, PSG are looking to break Neymar's world record transfer with the capture of Kylian Mbappe from Monaco and are looking to raise funds by selling their German superstar Draxler who made his move to Parc des Princes just in January.

Heading into the January transfer window, knowing they'd be losing Sadio Mané to the Africa Cup of Nations and with Philippe Coutinho having picked up an injury, Liverpool pushed hard to win the signature of Julian Draxler, who at the time played for Wolfsburg.

They lost the race for him to Paris Saint-Germain, as the German attacker chose the Ligue 1 side with its promise of Champions League football over Merseyside.

Despite having just spent €40million to sign him, and despite that he scored 10 goals and three assists for them in 25 games, they now no longer want him which has instigated the rumours that Liverpool want him again especially with Philippe Coutinho seemingly on his exit.

Arsenal are another club who have been linked with the German superstar a number of times over the years and it would hardly be a surprise if Arsenal jump at the opportunity to land their long term target with PSG looking to sell him.

PSG areready to make a real statement of intent right now having signed Neymar and looking to sign Mbappe but it is shocking that they are ready to lose Draxler who is such an young and promising talent.
