Lassana Diarra nears PSG move

SFR Sport claims that former Real Madrid midfielder Lassana Diarra could be joining Paris Saint-Germain this winter.

Marseille prevented the player from moving to Parc des Princes last summer, but the Saints could now finally get their man.

Namely, Diarra is eager to leave his current side Al Jazira and he may be allowed to leave on a free transfer despite having a contract until June 2020.

The fact that the Frenchman didn’t take part at the recent FIFA Club World Cup is enough to suggest he will soon part ways with his current employers.

Meanwhile, PSG are looking to sign another holding midfielder, but they are not in a position to spend a lot of money, which is why long-term target Lassana Diarra is now back in their crosshairs.

Fellow midfielders Thiago Motta and Marco Verratti are especially impressed by Diarra’s qualities having faced him twice in the 2015/2016 season.
