Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are hoping to offload as many as ten players ahead of the new season.

According to French publication L’Equipe, a whole raft of first-team stars have been left behind as the team heads for a pre-season tour in Japan.

They include former Liverpool man, Gini Wijnaldum, ex-Man United midfielder Ander Herrera and Idrissa Gueye who used to play for Everton.

Former Fulham loanee goalkeeper Sergio Rico is also on the list, along with Julian Draxler and Layvin Kurzawa.

Argentine striker Mauro Icardi has also been left out, three years on from departing Inter Milan.

The decisions come only a week on from Christophe Galtier being named as Mauricio Pochettino’s replacement as manager, agreeing to make the call alongside new director of football Luis Campos and Antero Henrique
