Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) is reportedly ready to invest €140 million in acquiring Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka as they actively seek a replacement for Kylian Mbappe, who is set to depart the club when his contract expires this summer.
The French giants are proactively planning for life post-Mbappe and are eyeing Saka as a prime candidate for this pivotal role.
Recent reports indicate that PSG has initiated a strategic transfer approach, emphasizing the recruitment of French talent, exemplified by the arrivals of Ousmane Dembele, Randal Kolo Muani, and Nordi Mukiele last summer.
Despite featuring local young talents like Warren Zaire-Emery and Bradley Barcola, PSG is still on the lookout for European prospects.
In their pursuit of a successor to Mbappe, PSG has reportedly identified Saka as their top choice, as revealed by Spanish publication Fichajes.
The claim suggests that PSG is prepared to make a substantial offer of at least €140 million for the 22-year-old winger, a figure that would mark Arsenal’s record sale if accepted.
It’s emphasized in the report that Arsenal is reluctant to part ways with Saka, especially given the need for Mikel Arteta’s team to secure an effective replacement during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The impending departure of Mbappe has prompted PSG to actively plan for the future, and Saka is seen as a key player to fill the void left by the departing French star.
Kylian Mbappe’s potential move to Real Madrid remains a topic of speculation, with reports suggesting that the 24-year-old has been in regular contact with former Real Madrid players, including Los Blancos icon Sergio Ramos and his current PSG teammate Achraf Hakimi.
Despite these discussions, neither party has officially confirmed any transfer agreement.
