PSG have doubled up on their effort to bring Marcus Rasford to Parc Des Princes as a replacement for soon-to-leave striker Kylian Mbappe.
It is just a matter of months before the French Ligue 1 giants lose Kylian Mbappe.
On Thursday, February 14, it became public knowledge that Kylian Mbappe is not renewing his contract with PSG as he had officially communicated to the club his decision to leave as a free agent when his contract expires.
LCSoccerHub learned PSG have envisaged Kylian Mbappe’s imminent departure having failed to convince the 25-year-old to renew his contract.
With his 244 goals, 105 assists, in 291 appearances for PSG, Mbappe’s successor at PSG will face a huge task filling the vacuum left by the player.
Notwithstanding, the search for his replacement has commenced with Marcus Rashford of Manchester United identified as a top target.
According to reports, PSG are ready to table a record contract offer for Marcus Rashford to tempt the player away from Manchester United.
The Ligue 1 giants are reportedly ready to make the England forward one of the highest-paid young footballers in Europe should he agree to join the club.
PSG’s move for Kylian Mbappe will be the second time the club are vying for the services of the Man United star after an initial attempt to sign the player last summer failed.
Marcus Rashford raised the bar last season for Manchester United, scoring 30 goals to emerge as the club’s highest goalscorer.
He committed to a new five-year contract with the club in 2022 following the prolific goalscoring run and is now the highest-paid Manchester United player.
This season, Rashford has failed to live up to expectations. He has scored only 5 goals in all competitions but has remained integral to Erik ten Hag’s Man United squad.
It would take a higher offer from PSG to lure Marcus Rashford from Old Trafford to Parc Des Princes. United are paying the 26-year-old £300,000 weekly and the Ligue 1 giants would be called upon to table a reasonably higher wage offer to agree personal terms with the player.
On club terms, United may be forced to part ways with Rashford with Sir Jim Ratcliffe bent on clearing and balancing the wage books. However, it will take a huge offer to the club to sell out the youngster as he is still considered key in Erik ten Hag’s squad.
