– Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) midfielder Ander Herrera’s tenure at the Parc des Princes is all set to be cut short. The player is reportedly heading towards an exit after three seasons in France and will now return to Athletic Bilbao.
– L’Equipe has relayed that the French giants are going to terminate the Spaniard’s contract.
– He was left out of the PSG squad by new manager Christophe Galtier for their pre-season tour to Japan. The omission was a suggestion that the boss does not consider Herrera as part of his plans for the future.

– In the last three years as a PSG player, Herrera made 95 appearances and contributed six goals and assists each. He could perhaps have played a greater role in the squad but missed 24 games at various junctures due to injuries.
– The Parisians have signed Vitinha and Renato Sanches this summer to bolster their midfield for the future.
