JAKARTA - Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) star Kylian Mbappe did sign a new contract last summer. However, rumors of Mbappe's departure from the Parc des Prince never stopped rolling.

Reporting from Marca, Thursday, even though he was given a long contract, Mbappe was said to have no intention of strengthening Les Parisiens and was disappointed with the attitude of the club's management.

This is because Mbappe feels cheated in fulfilling a number of clauses in his new contract. If the player leaves, PSG is reported to have prepared themselves by targeting Tottenham Hotspur's player, Richarlison.

The name is said to be one of the strongest candidates to replace Mbappe in the attacking line of the French capital club.

''If Mbappe intends to find a new club, PSG will consider signing Richarlison as his successor. Previously, Richarlison had also been on PSG's radar in the transfer market earlier this season,''' wrote Marca's report quoted on Thursday, November 10.

If Richarlison is willing to join PSG, he can meet his teammate in the Brazilian national team, Neymar. This name is included in the list of 26 players called the Brazilian national team coach, Tite, to strengthen Selecao in the 2022 World Cup stage.

Richarlison's achievements in the team were also quite good and slowly began to gain trust in the core squad. Players recruited from Everton with a transfer value of 60 million pounds (Rp1.07 trillion) earlier this season have scored two goals and three assists from 13 appearances in all competitions this season.

But unfortunately, the 25-year-old striker had to miss the last three matches of the Lilywhites in all competitions due to a calf injury. Richarlison is predicted to be down when Spurs faceTEN Forest in the third round of the English League Cup, in the middle of this week.
