Wantaway Paris Saint Germain star Adrien Rabiot will no longer be considered by manager Thomas Tuchel, as he continues to run down his contract in order to leave the French capital as a free agent.
Tuchel this week confirmed the 23-year-old will not be included in his plans, as he prepares to oversee an assault on the Champions League along with retaining the Ligue 1 title.
It is believed Rabiot has now been asked to train with the reserves rather than the senior team on the orders of president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, given that he will be departing the club.
Both Barcelona and Chelsea have been linked with moves, though Catalonia appears his most likely destination this summer.
'I have to prepare my team for Guingamp and it will be a team without Adrien Rabiot.
'I respect the club's decision. And it is a decision of the club,' said Tuchel of the situation, as report Goal.
While cash-rich PSG have naturally been linked with several players as a replacement for Rabiot, Tuchel would not be drawn on any speculation.
The Ligue 1 side are rumoured to be looking at Tuchel's former Dortmund pupil Julian Weigl, but the German coach declined to comment.
'Weigl? I can't talk about players who are at another club,' Tuchel added.
'Julian was one of my players, but he belongs to Dortmund. We're working hard to recruit a defensive midfielder.'
PSG are currently 10 points clear in France, despite having played three games fewer than second-placed Lille.
While the league title may be all but tied up already, the Parisians must overcome Manchester United if they are to finally to triumph on the European stage.
The last 16 draw appeared favourable for PSG initally, with United struggling under the reign of Jose Mourinho.
A resurgence under interim boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer however has seen the Red Devils win every game under his leadership to date.
PSG meet United on February 12 at Old Trafford, for the first of two legs.
