Arsenal are considering renewing their long-standing interest in Julian Draxler after Paris Saint-Germain today decided that the winger is surplus to requirements following the arrival of Neymar.
The north London club have attempted to sign him several times, including last summer, and have been told that the French club want around £32 million to complete a deal this summer.
The Germany player joined Paris Saint-Germain on a four-and-a-half-year contract just seven months ago for £35.5 million from Wolfsburg.
Inter Milan and Borussia Dortmund have expressed an interest, with the Bundesliga club facing the possibility of losing Ousmane Dembele to Barcelona. Draxler’s wages, worth about £90,000 a week, could be a problem for both of those clubs.
Draxler, 23, started his career at Schalke and was part of Germany’s 2014 World Cup winning squad. He was named captain of an inexperienced Germany squad that lifted the 2017 Confederations Cup last month and he was awarded the Golden Ball trophy as best player of the tournament.
Paris Saint-Germain signed Neymar for £199 million and are now attempting to trim the squad. Blaise Matuidi has agreed an £18 million move to Juventus and other players are set to follow.

Going by our performance against Leicester we couldn't care less about defending with 3 at the back either.Hope we sign him and stop this 3-4-3 nonsense, it's helped us defensively but we need to go back to what we do best, free flowing attacking football without a care for defending.
