Victor Osimhen could become PSG next attacking signing.
“PSG want Xavi Simmons and Warren Zaire-Emerick to be the faces of their future project,” European soccer transfer expert Fabrizio Romano said on his channel on Wednesday (June 21).
The reason for PSG’s challenge to sign new players is simple. Mbappe, the centerpiece of the team, is likely to leave for Real Madrid.
“PSG striker Mbappe has agreed to join Real Madrid this summer,” the BBC reported on Tuesday.
He will earn a base salary of €15 million ($21.6 million) 안전놀이터 plus bonuses totaling €150 million ($216.5 million) over five years, according to the outlet.
Mbappe recently informed PSG hierarchy that he would leave the club at the end of the season.
Mbappe, who joined PSG from AS Monaco in 2017, is under contract until the end of June.
Last summer, PSG were on the verge of letting Mbappe go without a transfer fee, and offered him a lucrative move to the Saudi Arabian league, which he rejected.
If Mbappe leaves, PSG will have to reorganize their squad. PSG are currently being linked with several players.
The Athletic mentioned Napoli center back Victor Osimhen as a possible target for PSG. The club is also eyeing FC Barcelona youth team midfielder Pablo Gabi.
PSG are also looking to find solutions within their existing squad. Once he comes up through the youth ranks, Zaire-Emerick could be the centerpiece of PSG’s midfield. According to Romano, Zaire-Emerick will soon sign a new contract with PSG. The 17-year-old, born in 2006, has shown promise this season with three goals and six assists in 28 official games.
Another player to watch is Xavi Simmons. Like Zaire-Emerick, 안전놀이터 he came up through the PSG youth system.
Simmons moved to PSV Eindhoven in July 2022, but a year later, PSG recalled him with a buy-back clause. This season, he was loaned to RB Leipzig, where he has eight goals and nine assists in 31 games.
