IRISH INTERNATIONAL SEAMUS COLEMAN is wanted by Paris Saint-Germain and the French club will try to lure him away from Everton for a second time in January, according to a report in today’s Sunday Express.
Apparently, the former Sligo Rovers right-back was the subject of a late bid in the last days of the transfer window with PSG reportedly offering £20 million and Gregory van der Wiel. But the Toffees are becoming quite good at playing hardball and refused to entertain the notion of allowing the 26-year-old leave the club, particularly when Coleman’s current contract runs until the summer of 2019.
Still, the Donegal native is attracting plenty of attention with Manchester United having been keen on his services before signing Matteo Darmian instead.
There’s also been talk of Bayern keeping tabs on Coleman which would would make some sense considering the unlikely figure of Brazilian Rafinha started many of their domestic and European games last term.
A possible move to PSG is a little harder to gauge though.
Ivory Coast international Serge Aurier is their current first-choice right-back and Laurent Blanc’s side only signed him on a permanent deal last April. The 22-year-old is highly-rated and will only get better.
Would Coleman really sign for the French giants and be a reserve? Hardly. So, does that mean PSG are preparing themselves for some high-profile interest in Aurier? And which certain high-profile Premier League club could do with a young, powerful, imposing right-back?
