The German playmaker has fallen down the pecking order in Paris

The German attacker was signed by Paris Saint-Germain last January. He made a dream start to his stint in the French capital. But the arrival of Neymar and Kylian Mbappe has put Draxler's PSG career in complete jeopardy. Along with the star duo, Draxler has to fight for a starting berth with Angel Di Maria which has made life difficult for the former Schalke man.

Draxler has scored just 2 goals in Ligue 1 this season with his most influential performances for the Parisians coming in the cup competition. Draxler played in the Confederations Cup last summer and will need to impress Joachim Low to include him on a plane to Russia.

PSG also need to sell some of their first team players in order to manage their bloating wage bill and Draxler is on top of PSG's offloading list. He himself is said to be keen on leaving France to have a chance of getting on that plane to Moscow. Arsenal, Manchester United and Juventus have been linked with the attacker who can be a valuable addition to any attack in the world.
