Menez is supposedly deemed surplus to requirements by Paris Saint-Germain, despite being a regular for the French nation side. The winger netted 8 goals and laid on 11 assists last season, but has fallen out of favour with new manager Laurent Blanc. It has lead to speculation around the player intensifying, with Juventus admires of the French international. Menez, who has started only 5 of PSG's 19 Ligue 1 fixtures, is determined to fight for his place in the side and prove his worth. Speaking after his cameo appearance in the French champion's 1-0 friendly defeat to Real Madrid in Qatar on January 2, Menez vowed to give his all. "I feel good. It's great to be able to play those sorts of games," he said in L'Equipe. "Each time I've been given some playing time, I try to give my all. "I'm going to try win myself a place in the team, and work hard to achieve that. There may have been some difficult moments, but I say to myself that they will pass. Personally, I have never said that I want to leave." Clearly Menez is eager to see out his contract with the Qatari-owned club, however that does not mean he will not leave on a Bosman in the summer. For a free transfer, Menez is an absolute bargain. Blessed with the ability to score and create goals, the 24-time capped Frenchman is a no brainer for clubs who are after a talented winger.
