'The problem is thinking there is paradise elsewhere' - Leonardo takes aim at Nianzou for leaving PSG to join Bayern Munich

Paris Saint-Germain sporting director Leonardo has criticised academy players who leave the club because of a lack of first-team playing time at Parc des Princes, saying most find it is just as difficult to see regular action elsewhere.

In particular, he referred to Tanguy Nianzou's move to Bayern Munich in the summer, with the young defender on the fringes at the Bundesliga champions.

The 18-year-old has played just 21 minutes for Bayern this season, amid an injury-afflicted campaign which has seen him spend months on the sidelines with hamstring problems.
