Besides making signings, clubs around Europe are also in the process of clearing out their squads and PSG are no exception.
With Salvatore Sirigu and Benjamin Stambouli on the way out, the deals should free up space and funds for further recruitment.
Sport360 rounds-up the day’s major transfer stories.
Sevilla were rumoured to be interested in taking Manchester City outcast Joe Hart but have instead sealed a season-long loan seal for Italian Sirigu. The 29-year-old has dropped down the pecking order in Paris with Kevin Trapp the preferred No1.

Internazionale are close to significantly bolstering their midfield with Portuguese star Mario. The 23-year-old is more than just a talented prospect and will make an immediate impact as either a No8 or 10. The Serie A side are also closing in on Brazil’s Gabriel Barbosa.
The Tigers face stiff competition from Sunderland for the midfielder’s signature with the 25-year-old seeing his first-team opportunities at White Hart Lane blocked by Eric Dier, Mousa Dembele and new signing Victor Wanyama.
Their depleted forward line ultimately saw them knocked out of the Europa League on Thursday and boss Slaven Bilic has moved to bolster his attacking options. The Italy international is due to have a medical, just don’t expect him to take pens anytime soon.
