AC Milan star Rafael Leao is one player whose name is connected to Paris Saint-Germain as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappé. The capital club reportedly thinks about what the squad will look like without the Frenchman.
Before PSG’s contest against AS Monaco on Friday, manager Luis Enrique spoke to the press, and as transfer rumors swirl, the Spanish tactician received a question about Leao. Instead of dismissing the question, Enrique decided to make light of it with his response.
“Is he a singer? (smiles),” Enrique said. “No, this is a joke. I know very well who Leão is. But I don’t want to talk about a player who is not at our club.”

Following the emergence of reports suggesting Mbappé’s departure this summer, Leao has consistently been associated with the capital club. Despite the Portuguese goal scorer’s impressive skills, a recent report discloses whether PSG plans to pursue him.
A recent report from RMC Sport indicates that PSG’s management has considered several names, and Leao’s profile is appreciated, although there isn’t unanimous agreement on his suitability. The French outlet suggests that pursuing him is not currently a priority for the upcoming season.
