7 potential replacements for Kylian Mbappe at PSG

The case of Kylian Mbappe will undoubtedly be the one to decide PSG's summer and the upcoming signings. In this regard, different names are and will be associated with the capital club in the coming months, and the media frenzy has already begun.

Just as the winter transfer window closed, the first press rumors about Kylian Mbappe's future emerged. And these latest reports point to a clear trend of PSG's number 7 joining Real Madrid.

In this context, the names of Rafael Leao and Victor Osimhen have quickly been linked to Paris Saint-Germain to fill Kylian Mbappe's shoes. However, according to British journalist Ben Jacobs, the €175 million clause for the AC Milan Portuguese could be a stumbling block.

Indeed, the club's leaders in the capital would not be willing to reach that amount. However, the capital club could present offers exceeding €100 million, without approaching the buyout clause. A possibility that could gain momentum, especially considering that Victor Osimhen would prefer the Premier League, with expected interest from Chelsea and Arsenal, according to the aforementioned journalist.

More names are added to the list

In addition to these two names that should be the most talked about in PSG's summer market, the capital club could reconsider the possibility of signing Marcus Rashford.

The reigning French champion was delighted to learn that the English forward had not yet renewed with Manchester United, but still felt he had been used as a means of pressure. Indeed, the player remains attached to his training club, and while a transfer next summer cannot be ruled out, Marcus Rashford will have to make his change of heart clear.

Furthermore, Ben Jacobs mentions other names on PSG's list, such as Jonathan David (LOSC), Ivan Toney (Brentford), Benjamin Sesko (RB Leipzig), and Victor Gyokeres (Sporting). While these players are not PSG's top targets, they remain on the list of possibilities, considering contracts, intentions, and competition in the different cases to be considered.
