This summer, Paris Saint-Germain will need to figure out how to replace the production that Kylian Mbappé is leaving behind with his looming departure to Real Madrid. As a result, various names like Napoli’s Victor Osimhen and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are linked to the French giants.

PSG will have money to spend this summer, and one area they might want to improve is their attack. Once the transfer window opens, it will become clearer who the Ligue 1 side intend to pursue. 

Nonetheless, GOAL reports that PSG want to sign Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia to compensate for Mbappé’s departure. Moreover, Napoli could be looking at a Premier League player to replace the Nigerian goal scorer. 

L’Equipe reports that Napoli are in discussions to recruit Jean-Philippe Mateta from Crystal Palace as a replacement for Osimhen. However, the French media outlet notes that while Osimhen is on the move this summer, it won’t be to the French capital.

The report notes that Osimhen is closer to moving to the Premier League than heading to PSG. The Parisians did bring in two No. 9s last summer in Gonçalo Ramos and Randal Kolo Muani, so they might get the opportunity to prove themselves with no Mbappé.

Kvaratskhelia will be an interesting file to follow to see if the French side does decide to break the bank and secure the Georgian player.
