Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo Araujo has admitted that the idea of signing star French players such as Franck Ribery, Samir Nasri, and Yohan Cabaye, is one that interests him.
Speaking to Italian daily Gazzetta dello Sport, Leonardo conceded that bringing France internationals to the Parc des Princes is an attractive prospect.
"I like the idea of seeing major French players at the club. I’m not talking about [Karim] Benzema, but maybe Nasri, Ribery or Cabaye", the Brazilian said.
“I do not know if it’s possible as I have not had any contact with any of them”, he said on being asked about future transfer plans.
