The French giants have chased Draxler all summer - with interest also coming from Arsenal who look set to miss out on the attacker.

Dost's move to Sporting Lisbon looks set to start a pinball effect, with Islam Slimani now free to make his move to the Premier League champions Leicester for £30m.

Draxler played in Wolfsburg's 2-0 win over Augsburg at the weekend whilst PSG fell to a shock 3-1 defeat away to Monaco.

But earlier this summer he'd revealed that he had expressed a desire to leave to club bosses.

He said: "I clearly told Dieter Hecking after the European Championship that I wanted to leave Wolfsburg.

"The coach knew for over three weeks. It really surprised me that for weeks they talked to the media about me. I expected that differently, for instance that someone would approach me and ask how I see it.

"Before they said something publicly, they should have also talked with me personally first."

According to , Paris bosses are keen to bolster the squad as they look to finally break their Champions League curse - and Draxler is their man target.

Wolfsburg have been linked with a £23m move for Spurs' Heung-Min Son as they prepare for life without Dost.

Draxler scored ten times for club and country last season after a big-money switch from Schalke.
