Julian Draxler is ready to fight for his place at PSG

Julian Draxler not thinking of a move to Bayern Munich

The German winger has revealed that he is committed to Paris Saint Germain at the moment and is not looking for a move away from the Parisians anytime soon. The arrival of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe had made Draxler a transfer target for a number of clubs with PSG desperate about reducing their wage bill.

Bayern Munich were linked with the former Schalke man who wanted Draxler as a direct replacement for the ageing Franck Ribery. But Draxler has rejected Bayern Munich's advances to fight for his place in the PSG starting eleven. Draxler said, "I am not thinking about leaving the club in winter or summer. I am in mid-season with PSG now and I am focused on the high aims we have."

FC Barcelona hoping to land Matthijs de Ligt

According to Mundo Deportivo, FC Barcelona are looking to test Ajax's resolve in their bid to hold onto one of their most valuable assets, the 18-year-old defender Matthijs de Ligt. Barcelona have long been linked with the centre back who is being seen as the long-term successor for Gerrard Pique.

The Catalans are ready to offload Thomas Vermaelen in order to adjust De Ligt in the current squad. The teenager has been crucial to Ajax's cause since emerging on the scene last season.
