It is sad to see him named alongside the long list of flops and mercenaries such as Herrera, Icardi and Gaye they are looking to offload. PSG really do suck the footballing soul out of so many players and it represents so much that is wrong with the game. A cautionary tale, as others have mentioned, and one that underlines the importance of having the right values.
I do also think the extent of his fall, like Coutinho before him, shows just how good the manager was in taking him to the absolute heights of his potential, because a different set of circumstances in an inferior league has seen his level drop off a cliff. I think had they not both had the benefit of working under Jürgen they could have had very different careers.
