PSG prepared to make €70 million offer for 22-year-old forward: Reports
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are reportedly prepared to offer AC Milan €70 million for striker Rafael Leao.
The 22-year-old is highly regarded after excelling under Stefano Pioli for Milan. The Portuguese forward has eight goals and four assists in 25 Serie A games this season.
Journalist Zach Lowy (per Carlo Laudisa) reports that Leao's eye-catching performances for the Rossoneri have seen PSG target the striker. They are reportedly ready to offer €70 million for his services and €6 million per season in wages.

Think Leão will end up renewing his contract at Milan, but keep an eye on this one if Mbappé ends up leaving.
Lowy states, however, that he expects the striker to stay at the San Siro.
Leao is part of an AC Milan side that are back to challenging at the top of Italian football. They currently sit three points clear at the top of Serie A ahead Napoli.
PSG are not the only club interested in the 22-year-old. Fichajes reports that Premier League sides Arsenal and Newcastle United have shown interest with the forward's reputation continuing to grow.

But the potential transfer comes as PSG may be in stark need of a huge influx of attacking talent this summer.

The long-winded transfer saga involving Kylian Mbappe looks to have finally reached its end point. Journalist Mario Cortegana has reported that talks between the player and Real Madrid are set to take place in a few weeks' time.
Julien Maynard (via Get French Football News) reports that the club are ready to part ways with Neymar as well. They have become increasingly frustrated with his lack of consistency.
The Brazilian was booed by the Parc des Princes faithful in the club's 3-0 win over Bordeaux last weekend in Ligue 1. This came following his performance in the Ligue 1 giants' capitulation to Real Madrid in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League last Tuesday.

Lionel Messi was also booed by the club's fans for his poor display and his missed penalty in the first leg of the UCL tie. Rumors have surfaced that the player is eyeing a move out of France following consistent criticism from the media.
So there is clearly a need for huge changes at the club, certainly in the forward line.
Along with the reported interest in Leao, the club have also been linked with Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele. The former Borussia Dortmund forward's contract at the Nou Camp expires in June and he turned down Barca's latest offer of a new deal.
They have also been linked with Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku, who has been disappointingly out-of-form since his club-record £97.5 million move to Stamford Bridge.
