On August 27, 2015, Paris Saint-Germain proudly announced the arrival of Layvin Kurzawa. “Transferred from AS Monaco, the French lateral defender signed this Wednesday, at Club headquarters, the five-year contract which now links him to Paris Saint-Germain (until June 2020). He satisfied, this Wednesday, in Paris, the traditional medical visit to finalize his arrival within the club of the capital “. Kneaded with talent and very promising on the Rock, the French left back was chosen by the Parisians to compensate for the departure of Lucas Digne. A good deal in everyone’s eyes at the time because the former Monaco player, bought 23 M € excluding bonus, represented the future at his post, he who came to be the understudy of Maxwell at first before him succeed.
Five years later, the track record for the French international in the capital is rather mixed or even bad. Capable of the best too rarely, he has delivered inconclusive performances and has not really progressed as expected. Under official contract until June 30, waiting to know what will be the decisions on the resumption of the championship and on the free players at the end of the season, Layvin Kurzawa arrives at a pivotal moment in his adventure in Paris. An extension is not a priori on the agenda for the 27-year-old footballer. A departure is, currently, the most serious hypothesis, especially since the French had almost left this winter 2020.
Kurzawa popular in La Liga
He had also announced that he had changed agents on January 17, he who joined the Sport Invest UK team of Kia Joorabchian. The goal was to put the odds on his side, especially to join the Premier League which had his preference. But it was finally in Italy that he almost landed this winter. Indeed, we must remember that the left side was close to Juventus this winter. PSG and the Old Lady were discussing an exchange between him and Mattia De Sciglio. Finally, the Bianconeri had turned around believing that the operation was not worth it since De Sciglio was a valued element of the locker room and versatile. To this, it should also be added that the Turinese asked for money because she felt aggrieved since De Sciglio’s lease was longer than that of Kurzawa, free at the end of the season.
The native of Fréjus therefore stayed at the quay in Paris where he appeared 23 times in total this season. Even though he is not a potential titular player, he has nevertheless attracted the attention of a few teams in Spain. Yesterday, Canal + revealed that Sevilla FC were very interested in his profile. But the Andalusians have to contend with competition from … FC Barcelona. A few days ago, Sport announced that Kurzawa had been offered to the Catalans, who do not close the door because they want to find a lining for Jordi Alba at a lower cost. The French free agent status is therefore an advantage. This Thursday, Sport specifies that PSG follows the tracks Alex Telles (Porto) and Alex Sandro (Juventus) brings Kurzawa even closer to Barça. Even if the Frenchman has always enjoyed the Premier League, bouncing back in La Liga would be a great opportunity. After a false start this winter, Kurzawa is well in the starting blocks this summer!
