Grzegorz Krychowiak to leave PSG

The former Sevilla midfielder, Grzegorz Krychowiak is set to be offloaded this summer with the Parisians ready to trim their expensively assembled squad. The Polish midfielder failed to impress Unai Emery last season as he made just 19 starts in all competitions after the man brought him from his previous club, Sevilla.

Chelsea were said to be interested but could not crack a deal with the French club being engaged in the Neymar transfer. Liverpool are also said to be keeping tabs on the midfielder.

Diop still has four years left on his current deal with Celta Vigo demanding close to £25 million for their valuable asset.
