None more so than the mega-rich French champions whose big-name players are ready to go in search for silverware elsewhere.
PSG have spent a fortune landing the game’s top talent in their quest of lifting the Champions League.
But their project has so far failed to deliver and their players are reaching the end of their contracts.
According to Marca, almost certainly leaving this summer include striker Edinson Cavani and defender Thiago Silva.
Silva, the club captain, is not signing a new deal that currently expires in the summer.
The same can be said about fan favourite Cavani who will leave the club after an illustrious seven years in Paris.
His replacement fill have big boots to fill after bagging 200 goals in 300 games for the club.
Big question marks hang over the heads of the world’s most expensive player Neymar and French wonderkid Mbappe.
Neymar, who angled for a move to Barcelona last summer, wants out after missing out on a return to Spain.
And Mbappe is also refusing to put pen-to-paper on a new contract that has just two years left.
With the ongoing financial crisis in football, clubs may have to wait another 12-months to sign Mbappe in which PSG will be forced to sell to avoid losing him for nothing.
Real Madrid remain the favourites to land his signature and are likely to make the first move.
Marca also add that Angel Di Maria has just a year left on his deal while defenders Thomas Meunier and Layvin Kurzawa are heading for the exit.
It means PSG are likely to spend big to replace them including landing striker Mauro Icardi on a permanent deal.
And they eye Silva’s replacement in Real Madrid defender Achraf Hakimi.
