Layvin Kurzawa and PSG, the flashback

Surprises after a crisis. The collateral effects of the Covid-19 epidemic will therefore have succeeded in shaking up the PSG in unsuspected proportions. Capable of brutally interrupting the idyll that was believed to be indestructible between Edinson Cavani and his club of hearts, the health crisis also managed to rekindle the flame between a Layvin Kurzawa and a PSG yet long promised to an inevitable rupture.

At the top of his form on social networks that he regularly fed with sketches well felt during confinement, the left side has indeed returned in grace in the eyes of its leaders. They, who hoped to see him spinning towards Juve this winter in exchange for Mattia De Sciglio, now plan to extend it beyond the two months that he verbally agreed to extend until the end of August and the end of the campaign of Champions League.

According to "France Football", it is even a contract of four additional seasons that the French international (13 caps, 1 goal) has recently been offered by Leonardo. A reversal of the situation certainly surprising but not so incomprehensible as that for a club that the crisis should amputate by just over 200 million euros.

A substantial salary increase

In addition to the fact that the market does not overflow with left-handers likely to come to swell the Parisian ranks, the latter are, in addition, not the most accessible. Alex Telles, the Brazilian from Porto for whom PSG had a weakness, quickly became inaccessible due to the greed of the Portuguese leaders, who did not want to release their player below 30 million euros (M €). A price clearly below that of Lucas Hernandez, the most expensive transfer in the history of Bayern Munich (80 M €), which would not leave Paris indifferent either.

But even if it means recruiting French, you might as well not look elsewhere - and for much more money - for what you have on hand. Especially if Thomas Tuchel appreciates the former Monegasque, Parisian leaders are also satisfied, in all of his performances, with the lining of Juan Bernat this season.

Although he imagined taking the direction of England in recent months, that Arsenal, Chelsea or Inter Milan said they were interested in the profile of the player, Captain Kurz would have shown him an attachment and a desire to stay at club that would not have left unmoved. To the point that its possible extension is, without causing anyone to cough, accompanied by a substantial increase in salary, now estimated at 200,000 euros gross monthly.
