phplaravelpaypalcomposer-php
put it in the inside require – Miggy
"guzzlehttp/guzzle": "~5.2", that needs to go in the require section – user320487
instead of writing it to composer.json manually you can run composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle that way you wont get any composer related errors. You can also define version you want to use – Anar Bayramov

Rather than manually writing the composer.json, try installing and adding them with the specific commands. Like this.

composer require paypal/rest-api-sdk-php

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle

That way, you'll avoid any typos and composer.json file will be kept as pure as possible.

Try this composer require paypal/rest-api-sdk-php

Ref: https://packagist.org/packages/paypal/rest-api-sdk-php

Edit: remove the paypal/rest-api-sdk-php on the composer.json and the guzzle then try this 

composer require guzzlehttp/guzzle
