Victor Osimhen at PSG? Or Rafael Leao? Or none? According to RMC Sport, the Parisian club has already made its choices.
What if Gonçalo Ramos manages to convince PSG? His recent performances have been quite good, with valuable goals. Despite Kylian Mbappé’s departure, the club might not sign a new central attacker. According to RMC, while Victor Osimhen’s name often comes up, he is not actually a priority.
Luis Campos, the sporting advisor, had indeed tried to sign him last summer. However, since then, PSG has acquired Randal Kolo Muani and Gonçalo Ramos. Therefore, there would be too many players in that position if Victor Osimhen were added.
“Attracting a number 9 is not a priority for Paris. Not today, anyway. We know things change quickly in Paris. Unless there are departures (besides Mbappé’s), which is not the trend in this area, the squad might remain unchanged in attack. Nevertheless, nothing is set in stone according to some sources, and a purchase could happen at any time depending on the end of the season,” RMC assures. In Victor Osimhen’s case, PSG would have to pay his release clause set at 130 million euros.
Rafael Leao at PSG is not a priority, far from it, according to RMC.
PSG is in talks with Rafael Leao’s entourage. However, according to RMC Sport, the Milan AC player is not a priority for the Parisian club. With Kylian Mbappé’s departure confirmed, PSG is exploring multiple options for the upcoming summer transfer window. According to journalist Fabrice Hawkins, the pursuit of Leao seems to be fading away.
“The profile of Rafael Leao is appreciated, but there is no unanimous agreement on his case. He does not appear to be a priority target for next season,” RMC assures. Additionally, the player would not be sold for his 175 million euro release clause. Too expensive for PSG.
According to information from Fabrizio Romano, Rafael Leao has indicated his desire to continue at Milan AC. Therefore, the PSG pursuit seems to have cooled significantly.
PSG Plans to Strengthen the midfield next summer; the priority would be recruiting a very strong midfielder.
At the top of the list is the desire to recruit a midfielder. While Gabriel Moscardo is already in consideration, according to RMC Sport, “the club aims for a top-level defensive midfielder.”
PSG is even willing to splurge and “break the bank if they find the perfect fit,” according to RMC, although no names have surfaced. Even though those of Rabiot, de Jong, or Guimaraes frequently resurface. The player should possess “technical prowess, be a regulator, and capable of asserting themselves physically. Additionally, a creative midfielder might also join depending on departures,” explains RMC Sport.
With Kylian Mbappé’s departure, PSG is expected to focus on bolstering the midfield before potentially turning to the recruitment of a prominent striker.
