PSG still in the hunt for Gueye
Paris St Germain's search for midfield reinforcements continues and Idrissa Gueye is still being linked with a move to the French giants but their budget is an issue. | Monday, 07 January 2019Gueye was rumoured in some quarters to have held talks with PSG last month but with FFP restrictions in place, they can only spend around €30m to €35m (£27m to £30m) while Everton value the Senegal international at around £40m.
Telefoot are claiming that Gueye has reached a basic agreement with PSG over personal terms and that the Blues' price tag is the only stumbling block to a transfer being completed this month.
Reports linking Everton to Wilmar Barrios and Lille's Thiago Mendes as potential competition or replacement for Gueye in midfield at Goodison Park has added further fuel to the fire of speculation but there has been nothing concrete mentioned in any of the more reputable media outlets to suggest that either deal is on the cards.
