Julian Draxler implied he will likely leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season due to a lack of minutes.
Draxler played all 90 minutes in Germany’s 2-0 friendly win against Israel on Saturday, with Chelsea duo Kai Havertz and Timo Werner contributing the two goals.
He arrived at Paris Saint-Germain from Wolfsburg in 2017, racking up 131 appearances and 17 goals for the French giants, but his playing time has plummeted this season.
Draxler has been brought on as a substitute in his past six appearances for PSG dating back to February 19, playing no more than 25 minutes in any of the short cameos.
Speaking with SPORT1, Draxler highlighted his joy in having an extended run, and the struggles that come with being out of favour back at his club.
“I’m glad that I played 90 minutes again after a long time,” he said.
“My situation in the club is not easy – I lack the rhythm and I need to play more games.
“I haven’t spoken to the national coach about it, but he has already told us as a team that he needs fit players who are in rhythm. You’ll see what happens in the summer.”
