Paris Saint-Germain speed up efforts to sign Ganso from Santos – Ligue 1 news
Paris Saint-Germain are increasing their efforts in order to sign highly-rated Brazilian international Ganso from Brazilian side Santos.
The 21-year-old attacking midfielder is considered to be one of the best young attacking midfielders in the world right now and has been tipped for a big-money move away from the Vila Belmiro. The youngster was initially tipped for a move to Italian Serie
A giants AC Milan but reports now suggest that Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain are in pole position to get the youngster’s signature.
Newly-appointed PSG http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Leonardo-c22056 is a long-term admirer of the Brazilian protégé and is reportedly consuming all his efforts in brining Ganso to the Parc des Princes.
Russian Premier League side Anzhi Makhachkala were also interested in the young midfielder but it has now been suggested that the Russian side is no longer interested in paying such a steep amount for Ganso.
The Brazilian is under contract at Santos until 2015 and his buyout clause is worth 50 million Euros – an amount that understandably makes acquiring Ganso a tough task for any club even if the club has unlimited resources.
According to French sports daily L’Equipe, Leonardo made an initial 30 million Euros bid for the player but the transfer is complicated because of several reasons.
The Group DIS owns 45% of the player’s rights which means that Santos are eligible to pay 45% of Ganso’s transfer fee to the “agent company”.

A few months ago, Paris Saint-Germain and its fans would never have imagined that the Parisian club would be making offers for players of Ganso’s calibre. However, since the takeover of the club’ affairs by the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Qatar-c2986 Investment Authority, Les Parisiens are
slowly becoming active in the transfer market.
Furthermore, the arrival of Leonardo will further help the club in order to recruit talent from around the world due to the Brazilian’s great ties in South http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390.
