Yohan Goodbye? Five possible destinations for PSG star Cabaye

Steven Gerrard has shown he still has what it takes to contribute alongside Philippe Coutinho and Jordan Henderson, but it is also increasingly obvious he cannot play every game.

Cabaye would be an excellent choice to compete for a starting spot in the Reds XI, but may favour guaranteed game time following his marginalisation at PSG.

Manchester United
The Red Devils were also strongly mooted to be plotting a move for Cabaye, before their attentions apparently turned to Kevin Strootman and Arturo Vidal. With those deals always looking unlikely to materialise, and Michael Carrick and Ander Herrera’s presence on the treatment table, United’s French fancy could be tickled by a potentially cut-price Cabaye.

With just Dutchman Daley Blind holding down the fort in midfield, Louis van Gaal would surely appreciate another option.

Tottenham
Despite having an abundance of midfielders in their ranks already, Spurs seemed to be intent on bringing Southampton shield Morgan Schneiderlin to White Hart Lane over the summer.

With that move now seemingly off the table, Mauricio Pochettino, clearly not content with his current options, could pounce for Cabaye instead, and get one over Spurs’ north London rivals in the process.

Real Madrid
Los Blancos and La Liga seem an unlikely spot for Cabaye to pitch up in, but many a player have been unable to resist the lure of proving themselves amongst the Bernabeu’s best.

After spending significant amounts over the summer, string-puller Cabaye could be a bargain buy in the January sales for Carlo Ancelotti.

Real (7/2 to win the Champions League) have finally got in to their stride after a tricky start to the season, but their troubles were blamed on the lightweight midfield partnership of Toni Kroos and Luka Modric behind James Rodriguez.

Despite being back on track, Los Blancos, who lost deep playmaker Xabi Alonso and could also see Sami Khedira depart soon, may be in need of another alternative option alongside Asier Illarramendi. Cabaye could just fit the bill.
