Paris Saint-Germain are preparing a fire sale of players in the closing weeks of the summer transfer window.
The Ligue 1 club have enjoyed a hugely extravagant summer in which they have signed five high-earning players including Lionel Messi, the highest paid player in world football.
Messi joined former Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos, Italy international goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, former Liverpool midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum and Inter wing-back Achraf Hakimi in moving to the Parisians this summer.
Such a lavish outlay on player wages means that the club now must prioritise slimming down their salary before the close of the window.
According to French outlet, Le Parisien, the five players PSG wants to sell this summer are Julian Draxler, Pablo Sarabia, Rafinha Alcantara, Layvin Kurzawa and Thilo Kehrer.
Meanwhile, PSG won their first two Ligue 1 games of the new campaign against Troyes and Strasbourg, respectively.
The Parisians currently sit in the third position on the Ligue 1 table with six points from two games.
