Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is in search of a replacement for the impending departure of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid. While Napoli striker Victor Osimhen was initially rumored to be on their radar, reports suggest that Man City’s Bernardo Silva may be a more likely target for the French club.
Following their Champions League exit at the hands of Borussia Dortmund, Mbappe’s departure seems inevitable as he eyes a move to the Spanish giants. As PSG prepares for the summer transfer window, Silva, with a £50m release clause, has emerged as a potential acquisition for the club.
French football expert Jonathan Johnson believes that Silva is a priority target for PSG over Osimhen, citing the existing attacking options at the club. With players like Ramos, Kolo Muani, Dembele, Barcola, and Asensio already in the squad, the focus may shift to strengthening the midfield alongside Vitinha and Zaire-Emery.
Silva’s experience and familiarity with the French league make him a favorable option for PSG, who are also linked with Guimaraes. The club may prioritize strengthening the midfield over the center-forward position in their pursuit of a Mbappe replacement.
Despite the speculation, a report from Italian outlet Il Corriere Dello Sport suggests that Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is PSG’s preferred choice to replace Mbappe. The Georgian player’s price tag of €120 million may not deter PSG, as coach Luis Enrique sees him as a valuable addition to enhance the team’s attacking prowess.
As PSG navigates the post-Mbappe era, the club’s transfer strategy will be closely watched to see if they opt for a seasoned player like Silva or invest in a promising talent like Kvaratskhelia as they aim to maintain their competitiveness in the upcoming season.
