No doubt is possible now: the PSG loft is empty. Its last occupant, the German Julian Draxler, officially committed this Monday for two seasons with the Qatari club of Al Ahli, currently 11th (out of 12) of the Qatar Stars League, where he will wear, like Marco Verratti at Al-Arabi, the number 7.

Arrived in Doha this Saturday, the one who joined the club of the capital in 2017 passed this Sunday his medical before signing his contract, all before his transfer are definitively formalized this Monday late afternoon. According to our information, the amount of the transfer should be well below the 20 million euros announced in the German press, and would rather be between 8 and 9 million euros. A nice sum, moreover, for a player who had only one year left on his contract and whose rating is not good in Europe.
This is the end of a long and disappointing history between the 2014 world champion and PSG, which began in a hurry in January 2017 before gradually dying out from the following season. He has nevertheless taken part in many important matches, such as the Champions League final in 2020. In total, Draxler played 198 games for Paris Saint-Germain, scoring 26 goals and 41 assists. In Al Ahli, he will meet the former Parisian Titi Sekou Yansané.
