PSG have reportedly decided against signing Tottenham ace.

PSG have reportedly decided not to re-sign Tottenham Hotspur defender Serge Aurier, report Le10Sport.

The possibility of signing Aurier was an option PSG considered, but sporting director Leonardo has ruled against a switch.

Aurier has not yet featured for Tottenham this season. This is despite the right-back position being up for grabs after Kieran Trippier was sold to Atletico Madrid.

Spurs signed Aurier from PSG in 2017. His path to the first team there was blocked by Dani Alves, who has left the club this summer.

Despite this, it appears PSG are not willing to bring him back.

Aurier had a tumultuous time in Paris off the pitch, but was a solid contributor on it, helping PSG to multiple titles.

His time at Tottenham has been far less productive and last season he barely featured for Spurs.

It would not be a surprise if he is sold or loaned before the transfer deadline, it just won’t be back to his former club.
