Not only is Julian Draxler on PSG’s exit list, but so is Polish battler Grzegorz Krychowiak.
The 27-year-old made just 11 Ligue 1 appearances in 2016/17, despite having shone for Sevilla for two seasons before his multi-million pound switch to France.
According to ESPN correspondent Jonathan Johnson, the midfielder is allowed to leave but wants to play in the Premier League and not sign for interested Lyon.

As the journalist indicates, there’s no suggestion Liverpool are keen on Krychowiak – but in many respects – he fits the bill.
Unlike most of our primary targets, he’s available, firstly. He also offers steel, grit and determination centrally and would provide the back-four with much needed protection.
We have no midfielder of his ilk and although we ideally need somebody more creative, Krychowiak wouldn’t be the worst option if the end of the window is approaching and we’ve failed to land anyone else.
After all, we saw how effective he was at first hand in 2016, when he put in a tremendous performance in the Europa League Final against us.
Someone to consider, certainly.
