PSG spent mega-bucks in the summer, and it seems like they are prepared to spend big again when the next summer window rolls around.
With the electric front three of Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Edinson Cavani firing on all cylinders, there's not much reason to bring in another attacking player, in all truth.
However, an area the Parisians are looking to improve on is central midfield, and they are on the hunt for a long-term replacement for Thiago Motta.

The 22-year old has been touted as one of the most promising central midfield prospects for a while now, with Manchester City said to be admirers.
But PSG are keen on acquiring him, identifying him as someone who can take over from the ever consistent and reliable Motta.

Hatem Ben Arfa is on the list and it's no surprise really given his current situation. The former Marseille, Newcastle United, Hull and Nice man was heavily linked with a move in the summer but nothing ever came to fruition.
The 30-year old hasn't made a single appearance for PSG this term and he's been touted as a potential signing for Leicester City boss Claude Puel in the January window. The two worked together at Nice, where Ben Arfa scored 18 goals in 37 appearances.
Furthermore, Argentine duo Javier Pastore and Angel Di Maria could both be set for moves away. Due to the arrivals of Neymar and Mbappe, the pair's first-team opportunities have been somewhat limited and they are not deemed indispensable. Former Palermo man Pastore has attracted interest from both Milan clubs, while Di Maria was courted by Barcelona in the summer.

Finally, completing the quartet is Brazil international Lucas Moura. Along with Di Maria, the former Sao Paulo man was linked with a move to Tottenham late in the summer transfer window, but remained in the French capital. He hasn't made a single start this season though, managing just 72 minutes from the bench in all competitions.
