Club wants to get rid of players: PSG threatens DFB stars with forced relegation

The German national soccer players Julian Draxler and Thilo Kehrer are on the sidelines at Paris Saint-Germain, the club wants to get rid of both. And now apparently threatens to be deported to the fifth-rate second team.

According to a report in the newspaper "L'Équipe", the French soccer champions Paris Saint-Germain are threatening the German internationals Julian Draxler and Thilo Kehrer with assignments in the second team. In addition to the transfer candidates Draxler and Kehrer, several other professionals that PSG wants to get rid of are affected, the newspaper reported. If these players have not found a new club by September 1, consideration is now being given to giving them match practice in the second team of PSG, which competes in the fifth division in France.

The 15 to 20 players affected no longer took part in regular team training, but trained in a group of two, wrote "L'Équipe". The new coach Christophe Galtier has made it clear that it is not possible to work well with the current 54 professional players and that he wants to streamline the squad.

Kehrer is linked with a move to the English Premier League. According to "Sky Sports", the London club West Ham United has made an offer for the defender. Recently there had also been rumors of a transfer to Sevilla FC. Kehrer had denied this.

National coach Hansi Flick will also keep a close eye on developments in Paris: "We need players who are in rhythm," Flick recently clarified: "We have absolutely no time to improve anything." Means: If you don't have any match practice, you will have bad cards with him in view of the Winter World Cup in Qatar. While midfielder Draxler was not nominated by Flick for the last international matches, Kehrer, who can be used flexibly in defence, was a reliable part of the DFB squad.
