Layvin Kurzawa could have (finally) been able to find playing time again by leaving PSG during the winter transfer window. He preferred to complete his contract with the capital club.

At the end of June 2020, as his contract came to an end with Paris Saint-Germain, Layvin Kurzawa extended his lease for four additional seasons. Loaned to Fulham last season, the right-back only played six matches in the colors of the English club.

Since the start of the 2023-2024 fiscal year, it has been even worse. In an official match, Luis Enrique only used it once, for a championship match. During the winter transfer window, the former Monaco player could have found some playing time. According to The Team, he received an offer from the Persian Gulf. Free from any contract at the end of the season, Kurzawa preferred to decline it, probably to be able to negotiate a signing bonus with his future employer.
