Joachim Low insists PSG won't sell Julian Draxler: 'I know for a fact'

Germany manager Joachim Low is convinced Julian Draxler will remain with Paris Saint-Germain despite speculation linking the winger with a transfer.

Uncertainty over Draxler's future emerged around the time that PSG completed the world-record transfer to sign Neymar from Barcelona, with Draxler subsequently failing to earn a spot in the starting team for each of the capital-city side's opening two matches.

Yet, Draxler's national-team manager doesn't foresee a situation unfolding over the next 48 hours that would result in a departure from PSG just eight months after joining the French club from Wolfsburg.

"I know for a fact that Paris don't want to sell him," Low told reporters, according to Stephan Uersfeld of ESPN FC. "They are convinced of his outstanding qualities."

Low added: "He made such a big step forward (at the Confederations Cup). I am convinced that he will come out on top at Paris. By now, he's already playing a big role for us."

Bayern Munich is one team said to be interested, but club president Uli Hoeness seemingly removed the Bavarians from consideration due to the limited opportunities available in his side.

"There's no doubt that Julian Draxler would be a great fit for our squad," Hoeness said. "But we don't want to sell any of our players. I already have a pain on my insides should all of our players be fit for once."

Draxler, 23, scored six goals over 20 matches in all competitions after his arrival in January.
