Paris Saint-Germain defender Layvin Kurzawa was the target of a failed blackmail attempt over the summer, it has been confirmed.
As reported by Agence France-Presse (h/t AS), the left-back was captured on film criticising France manager Didier Deschamps in a Paris shisha bar and was told to pay €200,000 to prevent the footage being released in public.
"In this tape the player makes critical comments at the France national manager," said a judicial source quoted in the initial piece.
As noted in the report, arrests were made after Kurzawa contacted the authorities, with the police setting up a sting.
