PSG set to sell three stars including Mauro Icardi in January clearout in huge boost to Newcastle's transfer plans

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are reportedly planning a January clear out with three stars likely to be on the move.

Newcastle target Mauro Icardi is on the departure list along with Rafinha and Abdou Diallo.



That is according to French outlet L'Equipe.

PSG chiefs reportedly think their squad is too big and will attempt to trim it in the new year.

And they have highlighted the trio and are searching for clubs to take them off their hands.

Attacking midfielder Rafinha has played just five times this season.

Diallo has managed just six more and also looks to be surplus to requirements.

Striker Icardi has featured 17 times in total this campaign but has only completed a full 90 minutes four times.

Icardi, 28, joined PSG – initially on loan – in 2019 after 124 goals in 219 games for Italian giants Inter Milan.

But with Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and now Lionel Messi ahead of him in the pecking order at the Parc des Princes, game time is hard to come by.

Despite his limited opportunities, Icardi has still managed 36 goals in 79 games.

And as a result, the Magpies are eyeing a move as they look to flex their new financial muscles.

However, they will reportedly face stiff competition from Spurs and Juve who are both said to be keen.

Despite managing to keep Harry Kane in the summer, the North Londoners face having to find a replacement with a departure seeming more and more inevitable for the mis-firing forward.

And Juve saw their main frontman – Cristiano Ronaldo – leave for Manchester United this summer.

They have former Chelsea man Alvaro Morata as well as Kaio Jorge and Moise Kean on the books but are said to want to bring Icardi back to Serie A.

The eight-cap Argentina international is arguably most well-known for being married to agent and model Wanda Nara.

At 34, the Argentine regularly posts glamourous photos of herself online.

She recently shared footage with her 8.1million Instagram followers of her having a bum massage before a glitzy night out.

And Nara also shared several pool-side bikini shots.

She also uploaded pictures of her 'waiting for her swimming instructor' who didn't turn up.
