Paris Saint-Germain is making preparations for the possibility that they may not have Kylian Mbappe for the next season.
Due to the fact that he is getting close to the conclusion of his contract in Paris, the captain of France is going to make a choice about his future in the coming months.
Mbappe has the choice of either accepting a long-standing offer from Real Madrid or extending his current contract at the Parc des Princes by one additional year.
Although Los Blancos are sure that they will be able to get a free transfer deal for Mbappe, there has been no confirmation of this as of the beginning of the year 2024.
Rafael Leao, an attacker for AC Milan, is reportedly already on Paris Saint-Germain’s shortlist of potential replacements for Kylian Mbappe, according to allegations from a French source called Telefoot.
Due to the fact that the Portugal international signed a contract extension at the San Siro last summer, he is now committed to the club until the year 2028 and has a release clause that is worth 175 million euros.
There would be a substantial amount of wage space available for Leao if Mbappe were to go, but it is quite doubtful that Paris Saint-Germain would pay his entire clause worth.
Following his arrival at Milan in 2019, the 24-year-old has established himself as one of the most accomplished strikers in the Italian top division, having scored 41 goals and assisting on 28 others in the league.
