Moneybags Paris Saint-Germain could be clearing the decks for a massive summer overhaul after reports that nine household names have been left out of their pre-season tour of Japan.
After sacking head coach Mauricio Pochettino and replacing him with Christophe Galtier, PSG will play against Kawasaki, Urawa Reds and Gamba Osaka later this month. But according to French sporting daily L'Equipe, a dizzying cast of players will be left behind – including Georginio Wijnaldum, Mauro Icardi, Ander Herrera, Layvin Kurzawa, Julian Draxler, Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe, Rafinha, Sergio Rico and Idrissa Gueye.
Wijnaldum only joined PSG a year ago after quitting Liverpool and snubbing Barcelona, and there are fans at Anfield who would welcome him back on Merseyside with open arms.
