Julian Draxler (29) has completed his move from Paris Saint-Germain to Qatari side Al-Ahli SC for a reported fee of just under €10m.
Draxler’s six years at the club have come to an end. He joins former PSG teammate Marco Verratti (30) in making the move to Qatar. The German international had been hesitant about making the move. As reported by L’Équipe, Draxler had asked for time to make his decision over family concerns related to the move. However, he ultimately opted to honour his agreement and join the Qatari club, becoming the last big-name player to leave PSG’s “loft.”
According to Le Parisien, PSG have received between €8m-9m for Draxler, who had just one year remaining on his contract with Les Parisiens. It is significantly below the €20m fee quoted in the German media, but still a notable sum given the German’s contract situation. During his time at the Parc des Princes, Draxler made 198 appearances, scoring 26 goals and registering 41 assists.

Draxler once had the world at his feet, a darling at Schalke 04. Bad career choices coupled with injuries tempered with his progress Anyway good luck on the next chapter son

This man simply killed his own career out of greed. Here was a player destined for greatness in his club and international football but chose to stay in PSG and get rusty. Clubs were desperate to sign him but he insisted on staying at PSG saying he was going to fight for his place. Unfortunately Draxler neither got his place nor improved his game and it has now come to this.
