Aurier takes Joao Mario to PSG?

By Football Italia staff

After pointed criticism from Inter Coach Luciano Spalletti, there are reports Paris Saint-Germain could offer Serge Aurier plus €30m for Joao Mario.

“Joao Mario has quality, and if he understands those two or three things he’s doing wrong and needs to change in order to complete his game, then he can become a top player,” said Spalletti ahead of today’s 2-1 win over Chelsea.

This evening Sky Sport Italia report that PSG are increasingly interested in taking the Portugal international.

While Inter paid €40m to sign him from Sporting a year ago, the midfielder is not necessarily part of Spalletti’s plans, especially with Matias Vecino on his way from Fiorentina for €24m.

According to transfer guru Gianluca Di Marzio, Paris Saint-Germain are open to offering Aurier as part of an exchange deal for Joao Mario, adding in €30m cash.

Aurier is a 24-year-old Ivorian right-back who had also been linked with Juventus.
