An explosion of rumors in the French language media today have Landon Donovan on the verge of a move to Parisian club Paris Saint-Germain.

Le 10 Sport seems to be the original source of the rumor, which has been repeated on several other French sport sites.

France has not been previously mentioned as a possible destination for Donovan, so this rumor catches me by surprise just a bit. What is most fascinating about it is the implication that a move might be imminent, meaning that PSG would be buying/signing on loan Donovan from MLS at a time when no one thought he would leave.

I'm taking this rumor with a grain of salt, just as I would any other, though I am absolutely floored by the its suddenness. If anyone has insight into the credibility of 10sport.com, please enlighten us.

I imagine, if Donovan was to somehow end up in France, that the presence of another American in Ligue 1 (with Davies and Bocanegra already there) would drive up attention from this side of the pond significantly.

*UPDATE* With little help from MFUSA Twitter follower Joseph, I have a slightly better translation.

Essentially, the story indicates that PSG's manager, Antoine Kombouaré, isn't completely convinced that Donovan could help the club. While Landon has admirers there, including former player Alain Roche, it's not exactly as it seems. A Los Angeles-based interest owns a significant portion of PSG and appears to be behind some of the push for Donovan. But if the manager is skeptical, can there really be anything to this rumor?

**UPDATE** This rumor has obviously spread to other bloggers/reporters since I posted it, and some seem to be under the impression that any move to PSG would be after the MLS season (meaning January); while that makes more sense than a move now, I'm not able to find a report out of France that explicitly states the timing. If any of you out there can read French and are able to find a reference to January loan, let me know.
