Probably overpaid. Could be decent or could be plagued by injuries. This deal could turn out to be a huge liability (aren't we trying to get rid of deadwood?).
Too much risk and very little upside for my taste.
Feel pessimistic about this transfer all you want, but just as there is a level of risk being taken let's not pretend that there's not a big potential upside.
Don't call my name
Don't call my name, Leandro
I'm not your babe
I'm not your babe, Fernando
Don't wanna kiss, don't wanna touch
Just go to JMed and hush.
Went over to the PSG Reddit forum and in the last 6-7 months read the following comments.
Positives
"Decent rotational player"
"Keeps his position"
"Dictates tempo"
"We have other deadwood to get rid of first"
Negatives
"He is not press resistant"
"plays half a season"
"Shoots long range, never scores"
"Paid too much for a sub"
"He slows our midfield so much"
"Never walks more than 5 steps"
"Never replicates his Argentina form with us"
"He is inconsistent"
"Not a PSG level player"
In the middle
"Only plays good when Verratti or Danilo is around him"

He basically PSG deadwood and we help them remove his wage 7m burden as bench player. In the end they need to remove him if they signed Ruiz. And we will get lower option to buy without obligation clause
We do really generous if we pay him 7.5m net. He will become bigger problem than Rabiot when he flop. So expect him to succeed with us
