PSG Enquire About Taking Fabinho On Loan In January

PSG's problems with Financial Fair Play means the Ligue 1 champions are looking for a cut price midfielder in January. The French side have two Premier League players on their radar.

In the summer of 2017 PSG signed Neymar and Kylian Mbappe. The reaction from most people was to ask what the hell happened to UEFA's Financial Fair Play rules as spending that much didn't seem to fit in.

Since then the 'Football Leaks' stories have suggested that they cheated to get round FFP whilst the club have had to cut back on spending after paying so much on their two world class forwards.

There's been reports that they will have to sell one of Neymar or Mbappe in the summer in order to help with FFP and be able to sign players.

In the more immediate future though Thomas Tuchel needs a midfielder for his squad, with centre back Marquinhos often filling in there and Adrien Rabiot unlikely to play again this season.

According to L'Equipe, via Get French Football News, the French champions have two names in mind from the Premier League. The paper says that they have asked Liverpool about a loan for Fabinho whilst Everton's Idrissa Gueye is another target.

Fabinho only joined Liverpool in the summer, from Monaco, and had previously been linked with a move to both Manchester United and PSG.

The Brazilian was expected to go straight into Jurgen Klopp's first team but he has taken longer to break into the starting XI for the reds than expected.

The 25 year old has played just eight Premier League games and four Champions League, three off the bench, since moving to Anfield.

Despite his lack of playing time so far it's unlikely that Klopp would let Fabinho leave Merseyside, even just temporarily.

Paris only have around €20 million to spend so would want Gueye as a cut price option but the Toffees midfielder has similar attributes to Chelsea's N'Golo Kante, who would cost a hell of a lot more.

Rabiot is unlikely to play again this season for Tuchel's side as he refuses to sign a new deal, with his contract up at the end of the season.
