Le Guen was not out of work for long and in his role as manager of Paris Saint-Germain, he entered the race to sign Clément. The midfielders previous club, Lyon, were also interested. On 25 January 2007, the Rangers confirmed Clément had re-joined Le Guen at PSG, turning down Lyon in the process with the fee reported to be around £1.8 million.[3]
