According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, winger Julian Draxler is in Portugal to complete a move from Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) to Benfica.

Draxler, 28, has made 198 appearances for the French club, scoring 26 goals and providing 41 assists. He joined the Parisians from Wolfsburg in 2017, but the German winger's time in the French looks all set to come to an end.

PSG are keen to offload players. The club is looking to avoid breaching UEFA Financial Fair Play regulations.

They recently made Kylian Mbappe the highest-paid player in the world, with a new deal of £650,000 per week wage for the player.

The club's Brazilian superstar Neymar Jr. has been linked with a rumored move to Chelsea in the final stretch of the transfer window.

The Parisians recently let go of their long-serving winger Angel Di Maria, with the Argentine player joining Juventus. Yet another winger, this time in the form of Draxler, is seemingly on his way out of the club.

Draxler was recently linked with a move to Spanish club Valencia as the Mestalla-based outfit wanted the German as a replacement for outgoing Carlos Soler. Soler was tipped to join Paris Saint-Germain in the final stretch of the transfer window.

However, his salary served as a roadblock to the potential move. It seems like Benfica are more likely to land the player under current circumstances.

"I am delighted to join Paris Saint-Germain. It is great for me to start this new stage of my career in this country. And I am proud to be joining one of the best clubs in Europe with the best players in the world.... I’m going to have the best players with me and this incredible club to play for, so I’m going to have to be at my best every day to live up to the club." (h/t PSG Talk)
