Paris Saint-Germain, the Ligue 1 champions, are hoping to offload up to ten players before the start of the next season.
According to the French newspaper L’Equipe, a slew of first-team stars have been left behind as the club prepares for a pre-season tour in Japan.
They include former Liverpool man, Gini Wijnaldum, ex-Man United midfielder Ander Herrera and Idrissa Gueye.
Former Fulham loanee goalkeeper Sergio Rico is also on the list, along with Julian Draxler and Layvin Kurzawa.
Argentine striker Mauro Icardi has also been left out, three years on from departing Inter Milan.
Also included on the list of absentees are Eric Junior Dina Ebimbe, Rafinha, and Abdou Diallo, with Galtier keen to trim his squad down to between 21 to 23 players.
The decisions come only a week on from Christophe Galtier being named as Mauricio Pochettino’s replacement as manager, agreeing to make the call alongside new director of football Luis Campos and Antero Henrique.
