French side, Paris Saint-Germain may be looking at spending another fortune during the winter transfer, as they shop for a holding midfielder.
The Big-spending clubside lured Brazillian star, Neymar from Barcelona for €222 million. But the impressive riches of their forward line are not yet reflected in their midfield.
This, coach Unai Emery had suggested on Monday that a new midfielder will help to strengthen the club even as they pursue their dream of winning the Champions League.
"Thiago Motta is a sentry for us and when he's out we don't really have a replacement," Emery told a press conference on Monday.
His side have are runaway leaders in France's Ligue 1, but face Cristiano Ronaldo-led Real Madrid in a keenly-awaited Champions League last-16 double header in February.
Motta won the Champions League in 2006 with Barcelona and again in 2010 with Inter Milan and has been at PSG since 2012.
"Having a replacement for him if he's out would be the key area to strengthen," said Emery.
To balance the books it is thought PSG are likely to sell over the winter break with Brazil's Lucas Moura and French midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa thought to be surplus to Emery's requirements.
