can’t say I’ve read the 25 pages discussing all this, but would be silly to think psg only became interested recently. Most clubs scout players for a good year or two (plus would have been aware of him given plays in same league) before they look to make a move (Manchester United seem to be the exception here

)
maybe they planned to go for him in a year or two after few more seasons experience, but the fact you guys were interested pushed things along.
Liken it to us and Diaz. We were scouting him for a good few years and the plan was to sign him this summer as a replacement to mane, but spurs interest in Jan pushed things forward for us.
might explain why it’s only a loan for psg as well as it’s a year or two ahead of schedule so want to keep their options open on him.
