Paris Saint-Germain would consider letting Ligue 1 champion Layvin Kurzawa join Premier League newcomers Fulham on loan in the final week of the summer transfer window, as reported by L’Equipe.
The last time Kurzawa played in PSG colours, Marc Bola was levelling for Middlesbrough at Craven Cottage on the opening game of the 2021/22 Championship season.
That, for the record, is 12 months ago. 12 months and two weeks, to be precise. The France international’s long, long spell on the fringes may be coming to an end at last however.
L’Equipe, backing up previous claims from The Standard, says Fulham are keen to break Kurzawa free from his Parisian prison.
The Cottagers are yet to firm up their initial interest. But, if they do, PSG may be willing to let the former Monaco man leave on loan provided Fulham are willing to pay a portion of his sizeable £65,000-a-week salary.
Fulham could sign PSG’s Layvin Kurzawa
Kurzawa, a £20 million signing all the way back in 2015, has plenty of juice left in the tank. The five-time Ligue 1 winner is not even 29.
He’d have a point to prove this side of the Channel too, although it remains to be seen whether he’s willing to join a Fulham side who, despite a terrific start to the Premier League season, may still be seen as a risk for a player who has won a remarkable 18 trophies in the French capital.
Kurzawa also became the first ever ‘defender’ to score a Champions League hat-trick in 2017. Not that it’s his defending that made him one of the first names on the PSG team-sheet under Laurent Blanc and Unai Emery.
An adventurous, attack-minded left-back, Kurzawa would provide competition for the in-form Antonee Robinson at Fulham.
The Cottagers have also shown an interest in Real Betis’ Alex Moreno this summer. Luca Pellegrini, meanwhile, rebuffed Marco Silva’s advances in favour of Europa League winners Eintracht Frankfurt.
