As the possibility of Kylian Mbappé moving to Real Madrid grows this summer, Paris Saint-Germain is on the hunt for a big-name replacement. The captain of the French team has not yet officially communicated his decision to PSG, but according to Le Parisien he has already decided on a move to Real Madrid.
Although Real Madrid are seeking a free transfer deal for Mbappé, nothing has been confirmed for the start of 2024. If the long-awaited move goes through, PSG will waste no time looking for a superstar to fill the void left by Mbappé.
Mbappé’s days are numbered
In this scenario, AC Milan attacker Rafael Leao emerges as the main target, supported by ESPN. With a contract valid until 2028, AC Milan would demand the full termination clause of 175 million euros for Leao. The Portuguese player has excelled at AC Milan and established himself as a promising talent.
Luis Enrique, the PSG coach, has expressed his interest in having Leao as Mbappé’s replacement. Leao’s speed and technical quality make him an attractive candidate for the Paris team as they look to maintain their competitiveness among the elite of European football.
Even though Mbappé’s future is not yet certain, PSG is preparing for all eventualities and ensuring that the star striker’s departure does not significantly impact the team’s performance. The possible arrival of Rafael Leao would be a declaration of intent from PSG to remain at the top of world football despite possible losses in its squad. The transfer window appears to be crucial for PSG as they look to ensure their continued success on the international stage.
