Paris Saint-Germain head coach Unai Emery confirmed right-back Serge Aurier wants to leave the Ligue 1 giants amid interest from Manchester and Juventus.
Aurier was left out of PSG s touring party for the International Champions Cup in the United States, with Manchester United, Manchester City and Serie A champions Juve reportedly circling.
And Emery said the 24-year-old Ivory Coast international is set to depart the French capital, having first arrived from Toulouse in 2014.
I ve spoken with Serge to tell him I wanted him to stay here and continue with us, he told L Equipe.
He told me that he wanted to leave and that he wanted to stay in Paris to prepare for going.
So, we signed Dani Alves, a very experienced player who has the spirit of a champion.
Another player set to leave is Polish midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak.
Krychowiak followed former Sevilla boss Emery to PSG but he only made seven Ligue 1 starts in 2016-17.
Emery said: I ve spoken with him. He s a quality player who can play in a very good team.
But at PSG, some players, when they arrive, must be capable of crossing an additional step to adapt to the play of the team. It s not the same as at other teams. So, it s better he finds another team where the play is better suited to him.
