PSG Eye Yaya Touré and Marco Reus as Potential Alternatives to Pogba and Hazard
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are reportedly exploring alternative options in the transfer market as they look to strengthen their squad, with Manchester City’s Yaya Touré and Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus emerging as potential targets.
Although PSG had initially focused their efforts on high-profile players such as Paul Pogba and Eden Hazard, the club is now considering other top-tier talents following setbacks in those pursuits. According to reports from France Football, PSG are keeping a close eye on Touré, who remains under contract with Manchester City until 2017. The Ivorian midfielder has long been a key figure at the Etihad, but his future in Manchester has come under scrutiny in recent months, leading to speculation about a potential move.
Touré, who has been a dominant force in English football for several years, is seen as a possible replacement for Pogba, whose transfer from Juventus appears increasingly unlikely. Additionally, PSG are looking at Reus, the Borussia Dortmund star, as a potential alternative to Hazard, who has been a long-term target for the French club. Despite Reus’s €35 million release clause, it seems PSG may be willing to pursue the German international if they fail to secure Hazard’s signature.
While Touré has sought to downplay any notion of dissatisfaction at Manchester City, stating he is happy at the Etihad, his situation continues to attract attention from top European clubs. As for Reus, his exceptional performances for Dortmund have kept him firmly in the sights of PSG, who are determined to bolster their squad in anticipation of another push for European glory.
PSG’s willingness to pursue these players highlights their intent to continue competing at the highest level, both domestically and in Europe.
