Part 4/5:
The Challenges of Player Movement
However, the intricacies of the transfer market extend beyond mere interest. One of the significant hurdles that PSG faces in executing a potential deal is the willingness of current players to depart. There's a notable reluctance among certain members of the squad—such as Julian Draxler, for instance—to leave the glamour and status associated with playing for PSG in Paris.
This discrepancy between the club's desire to move players on and the actual willingness of these players to accept such changes complicates the transfer process. Even if a deal is brokered, securing the agreement of players to relocate remains a formidable challenge for sporting directors Leonardo and Pochettino.
