PSG move ends Draxler debacle

Julian Draxler had the world at his feet when Wolfs-burg paid Schalke $37.3 million in August 2015 for Germany's rising star.

"We're convinced Julian will develop further with us," beamed Wolfsburg's then-director of sport Klaus Allofs after Draxler signed to replace Manchester City-bound KevinDe Bruyne.

Wolfsburg confirmed on Saturday that the attacking midfielder was joining Paris Saint-Germain in a five-year deal reported to be worth around $49 million.
