PSG eye stunning move for Premier League star if Kylian Mbappe leaves - Reports
Per AS Sports, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are eyeing a stunning move for Premier League star Erling Haaland should Kylian Mbappe leave the club this summer.
The French team is reportedly looking to create a dream duo with two prolific goal-scorers to boost their chances of winning the Champions League next season. However, the Paris-based club fears that Mbappe will push for a way out amidst interest from Real Madrid.
PSG's interest in Haaland comes after their elimination from the Champions League at the hands of Bayern Munich in the round of 16. The club's board is said to be planning for the next campaign, and they are hoping to secure the coveted 'eared' trophy.
According to Daniel Riolo, RMC's star consultant, Haaland is unhappy at Manchester City despite scoring 33 goals for the Premier League giants in his debut season. The Norwegian striker's exit clause is estimated to be around €200 million, which PSG could consider paying, given that it is lower than what they paid for Neymar from FC Barcelona.
However, the French team would have to part with large salaries to meet UEFA's financial fair-play regulations. Despite this, the prospect of Haaland and Mbappe playing together is undoubtedly exciting for football fans.
Moreover, PSG would have to negotiate with Manchester City, who signed Haaland last year, to bring the striker to Paris. Pep Guardiola had finally managed to sign a prolific goalscorer for his team, and it is implausible that he will allow Haaland to leave.
The possibility of hiring Zinedine Zidane as Riola has suggested a coach as one of the solutions to PSG's challenge in the Champions League. Zidane's arrival could also convince Mbappe to stay put in Paris despite intense interest from some of the biggest clubs in Europe, including Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Liverpool.
Overall, the idea of Haaland and Mbappe playing together at PSG is an intriguing prospect. However, several obstacles must be overcome before the dream duo becomes a reality. PSG will have to navigate the financial fair-play regulations, negotiate with Manchester City, and fight against Real Madrid to make this happen.
