Paris Saint-Germain were rejected by Marouane Chamakh – Ligue 1 news
Since the day Qatari Investment Authority took ownership of Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain, the club has made a lot of noises in the transfer window.
However, those noises have largely remained noises. A plethora of players have been linked with a move to the Parc des Princes but not a single move apart from the arrival of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Lorient-c39153 has materialised.
Reports in French media now suggest that Paris Saint-Germain made an approach to Moroccan international http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 from Girondins de Bordeaux last summer.
After a great start to life in the Barclays Premier League, Chamakh saw himself being relegated to the bench as the Gunners boss Arsene Wenger insisted on using http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 more regularly than the Moroccan.
The current situation should have made it easy for PSG to lure the striker away from the Emirates but the striker refused Les Parisiens’ proposal and chose to stay at Arsenal. While talking to the media, Chamakh said, “This is nonsense. I’m under contract
at Arsenal and not looking to leave the club anytime soon.”
Several targets are still on standby and general consensus is that Paris Saint-Germain are in no position to enter the transfer market until Leonardo is made the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 Director of the club. For several weeks, the the 41-year-old has been linked with the
sporting director vaccancy at PSG.
When the rumour of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Inter-c39567 Milan at that time. Many believed that the former AC Milan manager would take up the position of Sporting Director at PSG after Inter Milan
chose a new manager.
Though Inter president Massimo Moratti has given the managerial role to Gian Piero Gasperini, Leonardo is still waiting to be named the new Sporting Director of the club. Leonardo has also said that although he did have a meeting with the Qatari owners of
the Parisian club, he is yet to make a decision on his future.
With so many players linked with a move to the Parc des Princes, it seems that as long as the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Qatar-c2986 Investment Authority does not finalise the future of Leonardo, players would be reluctant to join a club that has not seen a podium finish in Ligue 1 since
2003.
