PSG Plans After Mbappe Leaves: Osimhen, Bernardo Silva, Leao, And Salah Become Targets
JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) must look for a replacement for Kylian Mbappe who will definitely dock for Real Madrid at the end of this season.
According to L'Equipe, a number of names have been included in the target list to fill the void.
Indeed, Les Parisiens still has coatings, such as Zare-Emery or Barcola. However, they are still too young and not ripe.
There are also plans to repatriate Xavi Simons from a loan period at RB Leipzig. However, this intention still could not replace Mbappe's central role in PSG.
Not surprisingly, PSG is eyeing a number of names full of experience and have the same quality as Mbappe.
Victor Osimhen's name is on the list. The Napoli striker could be the best signing to fill the position left by Mbappe.
However, Osimhen's contract at Napoli is still up to 2026. In addition, negotiations with Napoli President Aurelio De Rukis are known to always run complicated.
