Okay, about time we started this. Post any transfer rumours and talk into the thread. Both players going in and out of PSG this summer.

I'll get the ball rolling....

Liverpool's Djimi Traore to PSG?

Après des débuts difficiles à Liverpool, le défenseur français, Jimi Traoré, semble trouver sa place dans le collectif des Reds. A 25 ans, l’ancien lensois semble pourtant prêt à vivre une nouvelle aventure.

"J’aimerais découvrir autre chose, explique-t-il au journal Le Foot. L’Italie m’attire, mais le PSG me fait rêver. Le club a connu une saison de galères, mais j’aimerais vraiment porter ses couleurs un jour", a-t-il avoué.

After some difficult debuts for Liverpool, the French defender, Djimi Traore, seems to have found his place in the Reds team. The 25 year old, former Lens player would seemignly be ready to begin a new adventure next season....

"I would like to discover an other choice", he explained to 'Le Foot'. "Italy, attracts me, but PSG would be a dream move. The club, has had a season of problems, but I would really like to play in their colours some day," he acknowledged.

Paris dream of Kalou?

Malgré l’effervescence à Paris suite au départ de Francis Graille remplacé au poste de président par Pierre Blayau, le PSG par l’intermédiaire de son directeur sportif Alain Roche poursuit les prospections dans l’optique de la saison prochaine.

Ainsi Paris se serait mis sur les rangs pour l’auxerrois Bonaventure Kalou tout comme le sont déjà Lyon et Monaco. De plus, selon "Foot Transferts", le club parisien s’apprêterait même à formuler une première propostion à l’intention de Guy Roux. Le club dela capitale devrait proposer au club bourguignon environ 8 millions d’euros.

Alors que Lyon a déjà l’accord du joueur, Paris priviligie par l’intermédiare d’Alain Roche un accord avec la direction auxerroise. On doute que la façon par laquelle Lyon a approché Kalou plaise à Guy Roux, et ce dernier pourrait bien préférer le céder au PSG.

Despite the effervesance in Paris following the departure of Francis Graille, replaced as president by Pierre Blayau, PSG through their sports director Alain Roche, is looking into perspective for next season.

Therefore, Paris have already staked their claim for Auxerre foward Bonaventure Kalou, already touted by Monaco and Lyon. According to 'Foot Transferts', the Parisian club would appear to make a first bid to Guy Roux for the player. The capital club, would have to offer around 8m euros to prise him away from Auxerre.

Whilst Lyon already have an agreement on the player, Paris would be somewhat in a priveldged position under an Auxerre - Alain Roche agreement. On would doubt however the way in which Lyon approached Kalou pleased Roux, and at this moment, it could well profit PSG.

Older stories - sorry, I haven't been reading the news.

Anthony Le Tallec

Liverpool's Anthony Le Tallec has become the second Premiership striker in a week to suggest that he will look to move to Paris Saint Germain if he cannot make himself a regular in England.

Following Jeremie Aliadiere's comments that he would prefer a move to PSG if he cannot become a key player for Arsenal, Le Tallec has confessed that the capital club is the only option for him in Ligue 1.

"I will take stock with my agents soon about my future," Le Tallec told But!.

"I must play and show myself, but this summer will see a lot of departures from Liverpool, so we will have to see the officials' position.

"I would love to stay here because it is a great club, but at the moment my situation is vague.

"I will probably not be coming back to France, except to go to PSG - which will always be the club of my heart."

Francky

Liverpool and Paris Saint Germain are both understood to be keeping tabs on Middlesbrough defender Franck Queudrue, who admits a move to another club could bolster his international ambitions.

The enigmatic full back has been one of Boro's best players this season and he has been a consistent performer since arriving at the club from Lens in 2001.

He spent a season on loan at The Riverside but he became an instant hit with the fans and manager Steve McClaren paid £2.5 million for his services.

He has since developed into one of the most consistent left backs in England and this has not gone un-noticed both home and abroad, with interest coming from Anfield and Parc des Princes.

Queudrue, who was recently wanted by Ireland, has international aspirations but he has thus far been ignored by France and this is an obvious concern to him.

"Playing in a club with more media coverage could help me catch the French team coach's eyes," the 26-year-old told But!.

"He only goes and watches the big teams with the big players."

French Frank, as he is collectively known by the Boro faithful, says he is happy on Teesside but would consider an 'attractive' offer.

"I feel at ease at Middlesbrough. But we will think about if attractive offers come.

"I have no real propositions, but recently I heard about Liverpool's and Paris Saint Germain's interest.

"That is rumours and my agent has not received a call.

"I don't know Liverpool very well, I should ask information from Djimi Traore or Bruno Cheyrou.

"I know Paris a little more. I was born in that town and I would not dislike a comeback to France, above all if clubs like PSG show an interest."

Queudrue's agent Gregory Dakad insists that nothing is in the offing for his client.

"He is playing well and he has attracted interest, but that is natural," he told skysports.com.

"But these stories in France are just rumours.

"For the time being he is doing well and is happy, but we are hoping to have talks over a longer deal at some time in the near future."

Queudrue signed a new deal last year and has three years left on his current contract.

No chance - he's staying at the Boro!

Walter Pandiani

Paris Saint Germain are ready to rival Birmingham City for the signature of Deportivo La Coruna striker Walter Pandiani.

The Uruguayan forward is on loan at St Andrews and Blues boss Steve Bruce wants to tie him to a permanent contract in the summer.

With other Premiership clubs, including Middlesbrough and Newcastle United, reportedly in the frame for the South American, Depor will be hoping for an auction for his services.

Deportivo rate Pandiani at around the €5 million mark and PSG are monitoring the situation closely.

If Reinaldo is off-loaded then a bid is expected from the French capital club.

The 29-year-old will have the final say over his future and has adapted well to life in Birmingham.

Ganu,

Great to see someone is on the PSG scene, especially the transfer rumors.
PSG need help on many levels. Basically they need a serious attitude adjustment. So who ever they bring to Paris, they need to be passionate and want to don the PSG kit.

Ooops, Pandini would be a nice pick up.

I think I'm the only person here who thinks Kalou is over rated. Guy Roux hasnt sold a lot of players to other French teams lately.

There was also talk of us being interested in Zigic, and him playing alongside his Serb-team mate Ljuboja.

That should be interesting, considering, Niko is 6ft 7!

M'Bami to Liverpool or Chelsea???

Liverpool et Chelsea pourrait avoir à se "battre" cet été pour obtenir la signature du parisien Modeste M’Bami.

Le milieu de terrain camerounais intéressait Chelsea en décembre dernier avant sa blessure, qui avait mis un terme à toute possibilité de rejoindre Stamford Bridge en janvier.

José Mourinho semble encore intéressé par le joueur de 22 ans mais il devra faire face à la concurrence de Liverpool où Rafa Benitez l’apprécie énormément.

Le coach espagnol aurait déjà contacté M’Bami, qui ne cache pas son envie de quitter Paris cet été.

Arsenal avait été également intéressé par l’ancien sedanais, et pourrait se joindre à la "bataille".

Marseille et Lyon sont aussi sur sa piste, mais les clubs anglais ont un attrait financier bien plus important.

Liverpool and Chelsea could be having a battle on their hands to win the race to sign PSG midfielder Modeste M'Bami.

The Cameroon midfielder interested Chelsea last December before his injury, which had put an end to all possibilities of joining Stamford Bridge in January. Jose Mourinho, again seems interested by the 22 year old, but will face competition from Rafael Benitez, who appreciates him enormously. The Sapnish coach would have already contacted M'Bami, who has not hid his desire to leave Paris this summer.

Arsenal have equally been interested by the former Sedan player, and could also join in the 'battle'. Marseille and Lyon are also keeping track, but the English clubs have a greater financial muscle.

Landrin set to join PSG!

Selon Aujourd’hui en France-Le Parisien, Christophe Landrin serait le premier renfort du PSG pour la saison prochaine. Libre de tout engagement avec Lille en fin de saison, le milieu de terrain du LOSC aurait même déjà signé son contrat de trois ans à Paris la semaine dernière.

L’arrivée de Landrin ne devrait être officialisée par les dirigeants parisiens que la semaine prochaine.

According to today's France-Le Parisian, the Lille midfielder, Christophe Landrin, will be the first PSG recruit for next season. With his contract at Lille set to end at the end of the season, the LOSC midfielder has already signed a 3 year contract with the Paris club last week.

The arrival of Landrin, will not be officially announced by PSG until next week.

- Good move or not??

Toulalan to PSG?

Comme il le souligne dans Foot Transferts : "Mes contacts les plus chauds sont avec le PSG et Lyon. Lyon a pris contact il y a deux ou trois semaines avec mon agent. Paris s'est intéressé à moi un peu plus tôt dans la saison. (...) Je pense que si j'avais le choix, j'irais plutôt vers Lyon. Néanmoins, ce n'est pas ma préoccupation principale pour l'instant, je pense avant tout à sauver le FCNA." Une chose est certaine, Jérémy Toulalan, auteur d’un but en 30 matchs cette saison, est sans aucun conteste un joueur d’avenir sans équivalent à son poste.

As it has been underlined in Foot Transfers: "My contact is more hot towards PSG and Lyon. Lyon have been in contact for about 2 or 3 weeks with my agent. Paris, was interested in me at the beginning of the season. I think that if I had a choice, I would rather go to Lyon. Nevertheless, it's not my prinicple preoccupation for the moment, I am thinking about saving Nantes before anything." One thing is certain, Jeremy Toulalan, scorer of a goal in 30 matches this season, is without doubt, a player with enormous future potential.

This guy will be a good signing, especially if Modeste goes. Playing him in a 5 man midfield with Landrin, Cana, JR and a new right winger would seriously rock!

The problem is, Lyon will have the better muscle to get him, than us. If, they hold onto Essien of course.

As a free transfer? I think so
