Paris Saint-Germain duo Thilo Kehrer and Abdou Diallo are being pursued by West Ham United before the current transfer window closes, according to reports.
The Hammers are interested in bolstering their defense, according to Foot Mercato. Financial constraints may make it difficult for the pair to make a deal.
Since moving to the Parisiens, Diallo has played 75 times and has two years left on his current contract. The level of centre-backs ahead of him has made it hard for the Senegal international to get regular first-team opportunities.
Diallo is not against leaving Paris this summer and has been linked with moves to AC Milan and Napoli. According to the report, Paris Saint-Germain want between 20 to 25 million for the left-footed defender.
Sevilla are said to be keen on Kehrer’s signature, as he is also attracting interest from Europe. His high salary is said to be an issue for teams who want to acquire him.
The Germany international played 34 times. He didn’t start their opening league game on Saturday as he fell down the pecking order.
Kehrer was 100% recommended by Areola
Gini Wijnaldum excited for new challenge following PSG departure
While Diallo and Kehrer could be on their way out this summer, one high-profile player who has already departed is Gini Wijnaldum.
Following a poor debut campaign in Paris, the 31-year-old has joined AS Roma. The Dutch player joined on a free transfer last summer, but has since moved on in search of first-team football ahead of the World Cup.
According to The Mail, Wijnaldum told supporters that he was going to join the Serie A giants.
“It’s a really good feeling to be a Roma player. Everyone I have spoken to has given me great feedback about the club and its fans.
“The club made it clear just how much they wanted me in the efforts they made to complete the deal, which always gives a player a lot of confidence and belief.”
He said he added:
“The reception from the supporters, on social media and elsewhere, has also been fantastic. I promise to give 100 per cent and help the team compete for all our targets this season.”
Just incredible! 🤩 Thank you so much for the overwhelming welcome, I’m very proud and happy to play at this wonderful club with such amazing supporters 🙏🏾💛❤️ https://t.co/hfAWi9qXfW
On Sunday, August 14th, they will start their campaign against Salernitana.
