PSG eyeing Aurier

Paris Saint-Germain are considering a move for Tottenham Hotspur’s Serge Aurier, according to Le Parisien.

Apparently, the Ligue 1 side are not entirely satisfied with the way 30-year-old Alessandro Florenzi, on loan from AS Roma, has been performing on the right defensive flank. As things stand, they have no intention of triggering the option to make the deal permanent for a fee believed to be set at €8 million, which means Florenzi is likely to return to the Italian capital at the end of the season. It also means PSG will be in need of a player for that position, particularly in case Colin Dagba leaves the club.

Aurier has so far played 26 games for Spurs this season and the Premier League side could decide to refuse negotiations, but his contract apparently contains a release clause set at €10 million which, if activated, takes the matter out of the club’s hands. The 28-year-old Ivorian has already spent three years at the Parc des Princes before joining Spurs in 2017, and the prospect of returning to the French capital is believed to be an appealing one for him.
