PSG Transfer News: Latest Rumours on Serge Aurier and Jese Rodriguez
Paris Saint-Germain duo Serge Aurier and Jese Rodriguez are attracting interest from Serie A, according to reports from Italy.
Right-back Aurier is wanted by Inter Milan, per Corriere dello Sport (h/t French source Le 10 Sport, via Edo Dalmonte of Calciomercato.com).
The reports said Aurier has become a "priority" for Inter despite links to a host of other potential suitors: "The Italian paper writes that the Ivorian international, who is also wanted by Manchester United, Tottenham, and Juventus, is Inter's No. 1 for the right-back role, where Danilo D'Ambrosio isn't everyone's cup of tea."
Such is their interest in Aurier, the Nerazzurri have already made contact with PSG, per the reports: "The Corriere reveal that Inter have already asked Antero Henrique about him on numerous occasions, and are in contact with the sporting director about a possible move."
There is no denying Aurier is a player of considerable talent. The Ivory Coast defender has the pace, power and quality delivery to menace any team from wide areas.
Even so, PSG are still prepared to let Aurier leave this summer, provided they find a replacement, per a report from Le Parisien (h/t TalkSport).
The decision may be informed by concerns over Aurier's temperament, with international team-mate Ousmane Viera Diarrassouba recently questioning the 24-year-old's place as Ivory Coast captain during an interview with Radiodiffusion Television Ivoirienne (RTI) (h/t L'Equipe, via ESPN's Jonathan Johnson).
Johnson also noted how "Aurier's professionalism was questioned" last season when he wasn't ready to enter a Ligue 1 match as a substitute.
Aurier's standing in Paris may be reflected by rumours his club are attempting to beat Manchester City to the signing of 34-year-old right-back Dani Alves, per James Ducker of the Daily Telegraph.
The best thing for Aurier may be to move on from the French capital and revive his career in Milan.
It's a similar story for winger Jese, the former Real Madridย man who has done little to impress since moving to Paris. Now Inter's Serie A rivals,ย Fiorentina, have asked about the Spaniard's availability, per Sportitalia (h/t Football-Italia.net).
The reports indicated La Viola "are hoping to get him on loan with [an] option to buy."
Jese has already undergone one loan spell since he signed for PSG last summer. He spent the second half of last season back in La Liga, plying his trade for Las Palmas.
Jese impressed, scoring three times and providing an assist during 16 appearances in the Spanish top flight, per WhoScored.com.
Still just 24, he boasts a wealth of untapped talent. He possesses pace, is an intelligent mover off the ball and can finish.
However, Jese's chances of getting playing time in Paris remain slim. Angel Di Maria and Edinson Cavani lead the attack, while Lucas Moura has flourished on manager Unai Emery's watch.
Like Aurier, Jese may be best served finding a new home ahead of next season.
