Kehrer, who will turn 26 soon is a fine defender in his own rights, but due to PSG’s desire to win the elusive UEFA Champions League trophy, they’ve been on the lookout for a quality defender and are prepared to sell the likes of Kehrer and Presnel Kimpembe.

He played 34 games across all competitions for PSG last season but it’s understood that it will be difficult for him to play regularly in the coming season due to competition for place in the team.

The Parisians splashed out €37 million to sign him in 2018 from Schalke 04. His natural position is the centre-back, but he can play as a full-back too and he’s on course to represent his country at the World Cup, billed to hold in Qatar, later this year.

A good showing at the tourney will help increase his price, so his acquisition would be a good investment for Sevilla. According to Marca, Sevilla sporting director, Monchi will be directly in charge of the negotiations.

German side, Bayern Munich have signed Barcelona young prospect, Adam Aznou from Barcelona, snapping the player from their La Masia academy and he’s expected to join the youth team of the Bavarians, with promises of getting to the senior team quickly.

Aznou, a 16-year-old left-back, is one of the most promising players last season but didn’t accept Barcelona’s offer to be promoted to the Juvenile category and will instead become a Bayern player.

Aznou is already in Munich and is putting the final touches to his contract with the Bundesliga giants. Barcelona rival, Real Madrid and RB Leipzig were also said to be interested in the player, but Bayern won the race.
