The PSG undesirables

In this episode of PSG review we take a closer look into the group that is now known as the PSG undesirables. The players who aren’t part of the team’s plan going forward, but who have big money contracts and varying degrees of willingness to go.
How did we get here? We look into the PSG story of some of these players on the list. What are their prospects and what are the possible reasons for their reluctancy. Spoiler alert: money is one of them, but we look beyond it because these players are also people and as professional athletes, their career is shorter than the list of people financially depending on it. This might not be the case with everyone, but some players might feel the pressure.
This is a subject that I have been thinking about a lot this summer. As a fan, I want what is best for the team, but as a fellow human, I have to look beyond my irritation. These players are under contracts and as all of us in the working life know, contracts aren’t just there for the clubs, but for the employees also. Like these players.
So this is a very complicated topic. PSG’s undesirables. This was not something that any of them dreamt of growing up and putting the hours in on the pitch, while they were climbing the youth ladders and getting the big contract. But like said, the club needs to keep things moving and find altruistic solutions - ones that work for everyone - because you can negotiate a transfer with another club, get everything ready from business to business angle, but the player can say no, if they don’t want to go. And unless the offer is solid, in a place where they are willing to go, they can make their choice then.
In North American professional sport players are sold in a different way. There you can just find yourself in a plane to a new city with your belongings whether you wanted it or not, but in Europe, it works differently.
But in an infinite universe nothing is impossible. Some of these players could find a club. For example, Kurzawa who has appeared as the most hopeless case has changed agents and they seem to be working on potential deals. Also Wijnaldum looks like he could be on his way out after one season.
