PSG willing to pay €120 million for Arsenal star as Kylian Mbappe replacement finally identified
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is actively seeking a replacement for Kylian Mbappe, who is set to leave the club this summer. The French giants are reportedly willing to invest €140 million to secure Arsenal’s Bukaya Sako as Mbappe’s successor.
As the search for Mbappe’s replacement intensifies, PSG is making strategic moves to plan for the post-Mbappe era. Despite rumors linking Mbappe to a free transfer to Real Madrid, no official confirmation of the transfer has been made by either party.
Recent reports suggest that Mbappe has been in regular contact with former Real Madrid players Sergio Ramos and Achraf Hakimi, discussing potential plans for his future life in Madrid. PSG, meanwhile, is actively pursuing a transfer policy focused on bringing French talent to the Parc des Princes.
The club has already welcomed players like Ousmane Dembele, Randal Kolo Muani, and Nordi Mukiele in the previous summer, and local talents such as Warren Zaire-Emery and Bradley Barcola play crucial roles in the team. However, PSG is still on the lookout for European talent, with Arsenal’s Sako identified as their top choice to replace Mbappe.
According to the Spanish publication Fichajes, PSG is ready to submit a bid of at least €140 million for the 22-year-old winger, potentially setting a record for Arsenal’s highest sale. The article emphasizes that Arsenal is reluctant to part ways with Sako, particularly given the challenge of finding an effective successor for him this summer, as acknowledged by Mikel Arteta’s team.
