PSG‘s Argentine International is no more part of Laurent Blanc‘s plans for the Parisian team and the club would be happy to offload the player and his enormous annual wages. The problem is that there aren’t any concrete offers. Tottenham, Arsenal, Internazionale have backed off, scared from the player’s 4,5 M. Euros annual salary.
The Qatari owned French club need to offload the dead wood to buy some new, exciting players; El Pocho was bought 31 M Euros back in 2012,but now he is the club’s third choice, after Lucas and Javier Pastore. After paying such a hefty sum only three years ago, Paris would like to have back at least 18-20 M Euros; should they be patient or let him go for peanuts ?
Would Zlatan’s Ibrahimovic refusal to join Milan, open the door for the 30-year old forward ? La Gazetta dello Sport understand that it’s now a real possibility, even if the same media announce another bid for Real Madrid’s Karim Benzema, but this one seems to be quite unrealistic.

Nevertheless, there’s still a club, where he could be very much welcome; his old club’s Napoli door is wide open, but with a cut in his wages. Less money, but more playing time, won’t entice the player, he’s too busy making sexy publicity films!
L’ Equipe’s 21 pundit Simone Rovera, (an Italian journalist) declared that nobody asked PSG’s permission to talk to the player; furthermore the Argentinian has still another year in his contract and he’s very happy living in Paris enjoying the French capital’s night life. El Pocho, is no more in the wish list of the big European clubs and he won’t go in an “average” club getting less wages for more playing time.
Where to for Lavezzi ? Methinks that he’ll stay till the end of his contract, enjoying PSG’s games from the club’s VIP Lodge.
Life is sooo good in Paris !
