Galtier reveals Juventus-linked Paredes is in demand and could leave PSG

Christophe Galtier has revealed Leandro Paredes is wanted and has made it clear he could leave Paris Saint-Germain before the transfer window closes.

Paredes has reportedly agreed terms with Juventus and a decision should be made if Adrien Rabiot joins Manchester United.

The Argentine midfielder is frustrated with the lack of playing time at PSG, who he joined from Zenit in 2019.

Paredes replaced Vitinha for the final 20 minutes of the Ligue 1 champions' 5-2 thrashing of Montpellier on Saturday, but Galtier is unsure whether he will still be at the club when the transfer window closes on September 1 .

The PSG coach said in a press conference: "Paredes' situation is very different from that of Mauro Icardi.

"Leandro has a lot of demands and I don't know what will happen by the end of the transfer market. I know he wants to play, but he has a calm mood."

Galtier has bolstered his midfield with the signings of Vitinha and Renato Sanches, keeping Paredes in the pecking order.

The 28-year-old started just 15 games for PSG last season.
