# Virals: Paris Saint-Germain fire sale links Julian Draxler to Liverpool

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2021/08/19/john-barnes-cites-obvious-issue-and-makes-three-new-signings-claim/) could move for Paris Saint-Germain forward [Julian Draxler](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2018/03/19/psg-name-price-liverpool-target-draxler/) as the French club plot a squad reduction.

Often [linked](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/902489/Liverpool-News-Julian-Draxler-Thomas-Lemar-Philippe-Coutinho-Paris-Saint-Germain-Monaco) with a move to the Reds in the past, the 27-year-old could be among those to leave following the arrival of Lionel Messi in the French capital.

The versatile forward occupies similar areas to the [Argentine superstar](https://www.planetfootball.com/quick-reads/life-leo-prettier-17-best-quotes-lionel-messi/) and could see a further reduction in playing time this season.

According to [The Express](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1479065/Paris-Saint-Germain-squad-FFP-transfers-Manchester-United-Liverpool-Arsenal-PSG), as cited by [Liverpool FC News](https://twitter.com/LivEchoLFC/status/1428426516057239553) on Twitter, Liverpool could swoop to bolster their own attacking options.

The [56 times capped](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/julian-draxler/nationalmannschaft/spieler/85148/verein_id/3262) German international is named alongside Thilo Kehrer, Layvin Kurzawa, Pablo Sarabia and Rafinha as the players that could move on before the end of the window.

Last season, Draxler [scored four and assisted three other goals](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/julian-draxler/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/85148) in 24 Ligue 1 outings.

The [World Cup winner](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/julian-draxler/erfolge/spieler/85148) has made a bright start to this season whilst Messi prepares for action – netting in a [4-2 victory](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/julian-draxler/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/85148/plus/0/saison/2021/wettbewerb/FR1/verein/583) over Strasbourg.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £18million and under contract until 2024 at the Parisian giants ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/julian-draxler/marktwertverlauf/spieler/85148)), the ace once hailed as [‘world class’](https://www.bundesliga.com/en/news/Bundesliga/0000243657.jsp) by Jens Keller could be available for an affordable fee.

Albeit predominantly a left-winger, Draxler is capable of [playing across numerous attacking positions](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/96449/Show/Julian-Draxler) and would provide cover for multiple members of Jurgen Klopp’s side.

For the right price, Liverpool would be wise to monitor the German’s situation in the [final two weeks](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12257542/summer-transfer-window-2021-when-does-it-open-news-dates-and-deadline-day) of the window.
