Paris Saint-Germain are looking to make some big waves this summer.

Hazard is understood to be resigned to leaving, despite having just signed a new five-year contract worth £200,000 a week last season.
The newspaper’s report claims that PSG will try to steal Hazard away for as little (relatively speaking) as £45m as they attempt to capitalise on his unhappiness and Chelsea’s nearly certain lack of Champions League football next season, as they now lie 14th in the Premier League.
Despite his poor form, Hazard is still considered one of the greatest footballers in the world and PSG believe they can convince him to return to France where he previously played for Lille.
There is much transfer speculation regarding Real Madrid but it now involves their own players rather than those who could join, with Isco a reported target for Manchester City and Arsenal and Gareth Bale linked with a £75m ($155.2m AUS) move to Manchester United after apparent “unhappiness” over the departure of former club boss Rafa Benitez.
Zidane said: “After Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, Hazard is my favourite player”.
The Belgium global, who was voted PFA Player of the Year last season, has endured a bad start to the season and has struggled with injuries in recent weeks.

Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are said to be frontrunners to his signature should he decide to leave the Blues, but the two clubs may need to table an offer around the £90million region.
