Layvin Kurzawa to leave PSG after nine-year stint in French capital

Paris Saint-Germain’s defender Layvin Kurzawa, aged 31, announced his departure from the club at the conclusion of the current season after a successful nine-year stint.

Kurzawa transferred to PSG from Monaco in 2015 for a fee of 23 million euros ($24.8 million) and has since made 154 appearances for the team.

However, his playing time was minimal this season, clocking just eight minutes in one match during the 2023-24 season. Kurzawa spent the 2022-23 season on loan at Fulham in the Premier League, where he made six appearances due to his lack of playtime with PSG.

In a statement posted on X, the French international expressed his gratitude for the support received from the club and fans, emphasizing his genuine love for Paris Saint-Germain despite facing challenges throughout his career.

He acknowledged the complexities of his relationship with the team but chose to focus on the positive experiences and the privilege of considering Parc des Princes his home for several years.
