PSG interested in signing Lloris, but 'Levy will seek a fee' for Spurs stopper

  /  autty

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly interested in signing Tottenham goalkeeper and captain Hugo Lloris.

It comes as the French giants announced the appointment of new coach Luis Enrique earlier this week, who will replace Christophe Galtier as the club's new permanent manager.

Lloris, who has spent 11 years at Tottenham, becoming a senior member of the squad, revealed last month that he wanted to leave the club, despite signing a new two year contract with Spurs in 2022.

And according to Record Sport, he could be about to make a move back to the French club, who are looking for a competitor to vie with Gianluigi Donnarumma between the sticks amid speculation over Keylor Navas' future in the French capital.

The outlet also suggest that while the 36-year-old is still contracted to Spurs, his loyalty and long-standing commitments to the club meant that some inside his camp had hoped that he would be able to leave this summer on a free transfer.

But that looks unlikely with reports suggesting that Spurs chairman, Daniel Levy, will look to get a fee from PSG for Lloris, who has played 447 matches for the London club, while keeping 151 clean sheets during that time.

It comes as Ange Postecoglou is set to undergo a big summer clear out at the London side, with 10 players on his list to be axed.

Lloris' name is one of those included on that list, with the World Cup winner struggling to live up to his form of old, with both his club side and with France at the 2022 World Cup.

Lloris had already met with the Australian coach to hash out a plan for his future, but that hasn't stopped the London side from perusing the transfer market for a new keeper.

Last week, the London club announced the signing of Empoli goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario in a £17million deal that will keep the 26-year-old at the club for five years.

They've also been linked with Chelsea's Edouard Mendy, who is also on the verge of a move to Al-Ahli and had approached Brentford's David Raya, too.

But should Levy demand Paris pay for Lloris, they may be able to front up the cash, having recently recouped some funds following the departures of Lionel Messi and Sergio Ramos this summer.

The Parisians have already splashed the cash this summer, siging Manuel Ugarte from Sporting Lisbon, Hugo Ekitike from Stade Remis and Lee Kang-in from RCD Mallorca.

They have also done some very savvy business, acquiring Marco Asensio and Milan Skriniar from Real Madrid and Inter Milan on free transfers.
