PSG are willing to match Toby Alderweireld’s wage demands, according to Daily Mail journalist Sam Mokbel.
It now seems clear why negotiations with the Belgian have stalled. It is believed he wants £200k a week to stay and a five year deal; neither of which the club were going to sanction.
With Toby having been left out of the squad that was triumphant against Chelsea at the weekend, there seems to be little chance that our no.4 will be staying beyond the end of the season.
At 29 years of age, he still has a few years at the top of his game, but it looks for all intents and purposes that Poch has decided we can do without him.
Davinson Sanchez has stepped up to the plate alongside Jan Vertonghen to form solid centre back partnership, and the Colombian’s performances probably have had a major bearing on us opting against keeping the defender.
The centre half will have a year left on his contract in the summer so it will be interesting to see what sort of transfer fee we will get for the player.
