At a time when almost no player is certain of his future at PSG, clearly and publicly expressing his intentions can’t hurt. Before leaving, this Saturday, for a tour of Japan, probably with a reduced group, which should give a slightly clearer view of the players clearly for sale to PSG, Ander Herrera took the lead. “At each transfer window, my name comes back and nothing changes, said the Spanish midfielder on the show the big game Of the radio COPE, during an interview conducted at Roland Garros during a Padel tournament. I’m happy and the idea is to stay here. “A desire that he had already expressed in the past, while his contract runs until 2024.
“We already know that the press here likes to talk about PSG and I know how it works,” he continued. It sells a lot of things to talk about PSG. I read a lot of things that don’t happen. I understand that there is no news every day, and that the press must talk about hypotheses”.

I understand the greatness of teams like Real Madrid, but you have to respect a Parisian boy who wants to go down in the history of his club. »
