MEMPHIS DEPAY


LAYVIN KURZAWA


(Barcelona, Spa
& Chl)
The midfielder has
not had an easy
first season in
Barcelona since
his surprise switch
from Bayern
Munich last
summer. The
31-year-old could
be moved on to
help pay for a
summer reboot.


(Lyon, Fra & Hol)
Has rebuilt
his reputation
in France after
a frustrating spell
with Manchester
United. Never one
to lack confidence,
the striker may
now feel he is
worth a second
shot with another
Champions
League club.

(Bayern Munich
& Ger)
Dropped from the
national set-up by
Joachim Low and
now increasingly
sidelined as
Bayern embark
on a rebuild with
the defence
centred around
the younger
Niklas Sule. PSG
expressed interest
last summer but
were put off by
the asking price.

(Paris Saint-
Germain & Fra)
The 26-year-old
left-back has
found a starting
place hard to
come by this
season. Tottenham
Hotspur will be
among a number
of Premier League
clubs interested in
signing the French
international.

(Bayern Munich,
Ger & Pol)
Only four players
have scored more
Bundesliga goals
than the 30-year-
old, but he almost
left Bavaria last
summer and has
yet to agree a
contract extension
beyond 2021.
Bayern’s pursuit of
RB Leipzig’s Timo
Werner could
force the issue.

JEROME BOATENG


performer when they won the European
Under-19 title in 2016 and once regarded
as the jewel in the crown of the PSG
youth system, Augustin undoubtedly is
a special talent. Indeed, he has all the
attributes to go right to the top: speed,
power and general explosiveness.
He did once have the desire and in the
summer of 2016 he spent the off-season
working on all aspects of his game with a
one-to-one coach. A new club and a new
mentality could be the making of him.
