Paris Saint-Germain may be looking for an attacker to fill the void that Kylian Mbappé will leave behind. The Frenchman’s contract expires in June, and many expect him to join Real Madrid. PSG could see Viktor Gyökeres as a potential target, as he’s been performing well at Sporting Lisbon.

The 25-year-old player has netted 32 goals and provided 11 assists in 35 matches for the Portuguese team in all competitions this season. As a result, top European clubs are noticing the Swedish striker’s current form, one of them being PSG.

According to A Bola, the Ligue 1 side could go on the offensive this summer for Gyökeres, who has a €100 million release clause. The French giants will face stiff competition from Arsenal, who also closely monitor the situation.

PSG beat out a Premier League club last summer for a Sporting player in Manuel Ugarter. Can they do it in back-to-back years? Nonetheless, the capital club must determine whether they want to move off from Randal Kolo Muani or Gonçalo Ramos before entering the race.
