Liverpool are considered favorites to obtain his services. A bid of €20 million is expected to made in the coming days. Juventus, Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid are also reportedly interested in landing the Argentine.
Paris Saint-Germain boss Laurent Blanc has no qualms with player's desires, proclaiming anyone is free to leave if they so choose. "If someone wants to leave, we will not stop them," Blanc told reporters (via Football Italia). "I have a strong and talented team. We have signed the players we wanted to get and we have strengthened the positions we wanted."

"If the team remains how it is, I would be very happy," he added. "But the window is still open and anything could happen until the end. If a player wants to go, we won't stop them and maybe we would sign someone else to replace them."
Blanc just shouldn't be so receptive to letting this player go.
In 24 starts with Paris Saint-Germain last season, Lavezzi finished his campaign with nine goals and an average of 1.1 key passes per match. His ability to feature on all three sides of the pitch highlight the totality of his game.
He would serve as the missing piece of Brendan Rodgers' championship puzzle.
