How is he an idiot?
Imagine if you were in his shoes, and your only options are:
1. not sign a contract and be free in a summer of 2019
2. sign a contract and you are in a prison for another 5 years. Whatever they say or promise to you, you will not be allowed to leave.
There is a chance that they will put you on stands for 2-3-4 years, if needed. Psg can do everything...
If he signs a new contract, he will never be able to leave (if he'll want to leave one day).
have you been living under a rock BBZ?
how is he not an idiot? didn't get picked for France squad.. throws a tantrum making it unlikely he'll ever play for them again... clever right?
for his own benefit, he didn't need to tell PSG mid fucking season 'i won't sign any contract extension', hes now going to be sat in the stands, will probably join Barca next summer unfit and rusty due to lack of football. could end up an Arda situation
the best thing for him would of been to stfu, play when he gets the chance and then leave in the summer. i get the feeling PSG are taking this harsh stance because the guy is problematic and they are right to not play him.
don't want this guy anywhere near Barca. not good enough skill wise or character wise
