Following the announcement that Kylian Mbappé would be leaving Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season, L’Equipe in France look at the Ligue 1 side’s plans to replace him.
There will be no like for like arrival, since that’s nearly impossible, but a couple of big names are expected to arrive, with one desire currently playing for Manchester City.
That’s Bernardo Silva, who has been a long-term target for the French club, with the interest intensifying since they brought in Luis Campos to help with transfers.
The Portuguese transfer guru knows the Manchester City star well from their time at AS Monaco together, and L’Equipe claim the forward is a ‘major target’ for the Parisians.
cityThe club have been ‘dreaming of luring’ him to the French capital for a number of years, and the ‘interest is mutual’ when it comes to working together.
The question the newspaper ask is whether this could be the ‘right year’ to get a deal done, especially since the Manchester City player has a ‘fairly low release clause’ in his contract at the Etihad of around €60m.
Only time will tell, but there’s no denying that with Silva having won everything he can with the Premier League side, there will come a time when moving on makes sense.
