Paris Saint-Germain to use Jeremy Clement as bait to lure Saint-Etienne star Dimitri Payet
French Ligue 1 giants, Paris Saint-Germain are considering a player-plus-cash deal in order to sign the French International, Dimitri Payet. If reports are to be believed, Jeremy Clement is deemed surplus to requirements by the Parisiens and the player can
be used to sweeten the bid for Dimitri Payet.
PSG’s interest in the 23-year-old Saint-Etienne forward is no secret. After losing Stephane Sessegnon to English Premier League side Sunderland in the January transfer window, Paris Saint-Germain are yet to add a winger to their squad. Now, it seems that
PSG have set their eyes on Payet and are ready to make a bid for the Frenchman. Saint-Etienne are reportedly unwilling to sell the player for anything than 8 million Euros – an amount that PSG would be hard-pressed to splash out.
In order to lower down the transfer fee, the PSG management is now considering offering Saint-Etienne their midfielder, Jeremy Clements as part of the deal. Although Clement’s history with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-Lyonnais-c40130 (Saint-Etienne and Lyon share one of the biggest
footballing rivalries in France) might not go down well with the Saint-Etienne faithful, the player himself would be attracted to the idea of playing for the Rhone club, primarily because first team action was hard to come by for the player at PSG this season;
Clement has made only 5 appearances for Paris Saint-Germain this season.
Moreover, rumours suggest that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitri-Payet-c11276 and acquire Clements. Jeremy Clement is a native of Beziers and signed his
first professional football contract with Olympique de Lyonnais in 2003. He played 35 games for the Rhone giants and left for Scottish giants, Glasgow http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rangers-c40314 in 2006. His stay in Glasgow was not a successful one and after one year and 19 appearances, the
former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 Under-21 International joined Paris Saint-Germain in 2007. Since then, Clement has made 116 league appearances for the club.
