French outlet Le Parisien report that PSG want to discuss a move for Liverpool midfielder James Milner.
The report claims that bosses at the French club have spoken internally about signing Milner next year.
Milner is under contract until the end of next season, when the French club are allegedly planning to swoop in.
The report says: “Milner, in the final of the Champions League with Liverpool, is also at the end of the contract and his name runs in the Parisian backstage.”
The report suggests that there’s going to be a big shake-up at PSG, with plenty of central midfielders coming in.
Ander Herrera is expected to join PSG, and they are also apparently looking for a fifth central midfielder for his squad.
The rumour, however, seems rather unlikely to materialise into anything concrete.
Milner has been one of Jürgen Klopp’s most trusted men time at Anfield – he won’t want to let him go.
He’s been integral in Liverpool’s push for silverware this season and is set to be part of next season’s plans.
Besides, at 33-years-old, he’s not exactly going to think about starting new in France at this stage.
He’s still getting regular game time at Anfield and clearly has the backing of both his manager and the fans.
This is something that he would certainly not be guaranteed at the Parc des Princes
Milner is also under contract for another season, making a move away even less likely.
It will be interesting to see, though, what happens if he hasn’t signed a new deal before January comes.
In January, Milner would be free to sign a pre-contract agreement with another club should Liverpool not renew his deal.
If he was to leave, there’s no doubting that he’d be a big loss to the club
His versatility and reliability have been crucial to Liverpool in recent years, and his vast experience has also been useful.
He’s helped those around him to grow and is Liverpool’s vice-captain, further highlighting his importance at Anfield.
PSG would be able to offer him an attractive deal financially, but Milner is a man of integrity.
It would be hugely surprising to see him move to France for financial or footballing reasons.
