Newcastle: a PSG offensive for Saint-Maximin?

PSG would have registered the name of Allan Saint-Maximin on its shelves, in view of the summer transfer window. The Parisians could put the 50 million requested by Newcastle to let him go.

According to the elements communicated by the Mirror, PSG is eyeing Allan Saint-Maximin, for his summer recruitment. The Parisian leaders would appreciate the profile of the winger, who is able to play in several positions. The native of Châtenay-Malabry could in particular relieve Lionel Messi or Neymar, on their sides. Especially since the two South Americans sometimes have difficulty stringing together matches.

Recruited by the Magpies for an amount of 18 million euros, in August 2019, Allan Saint-Maximin scored 5 goals and gave 4 assists in 33 appearances, this season, in all competitions. The international Espoir (7 selections) was trained in Saint-Etienne, which he left in 2015 to join Monaco, as part of a transfer of 5 million euros. He was then loaned successively to Hanover and Bastia, before being recruited by OGC Nice for 10 million euros, in 2017, then heading to England.

Allan Saint-Maximin had announced his great ambitions, after the takeover of Newcastle by the Saudis, last October. The player had shown his desire to play in the Champions League and to discover the France team, where Didier Deschamps has not yet called him. The Magpies’ projects could help him to take steps in the coming months, but this would also certainly be the case for the Parisian club. Newcastle leaders are said to be waiting for a check for 50 million euros to let him go, while his contract runs until June 2026.

Since the beginning of his career, Allan Saint-Maximin has scored 12 goals and provided 17 assists in 111 appearances in Ligue 1. In the Premier League, he has totaled 82 matches, for 11 goals and 13 assists.
