  • Kylian Mbappe's departure from Paris Saint-Germain is all but confirmed
  • The PSG forward is set to join Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer
  • Sports Brief takes a look at African stars that could replace him at the club

Kylian Mbappe is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain to complete his dream move to Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid on a free transfer in the summer.

The France international has been on Real Madrid's radar for the past three seasons and could finally fulfil his long-time wish of playing for Los Blancos after making his intentions known to PSG a few days ago.

Reports confirmed that the 25-year-old forward told the Ligue 1 giants he would leave at the end of his contract in June, which gives him the right to negotiate with any other club.

Three African stars who can replace Mbappe

PSG is reportedly searching for a replacement for Mbappe in the transfer market and has been linked with several top players.

Sports Brief takes a look at three African Superstars capable of replacing the former Monaco star at the French club.

Victor Osimhen

The Super Eagles star is one of the top strikers in Europe and has been linked with several top clubs due to his performance.

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that the Nigerian international is being linked with a move to PSG as the club sees him as a perfect replacement for Mbappe.

Mohamed Salah

The Egyptian international has been linked with a move away from English Premier League side Liverpool, with Saudi Arabian clubs showing strong interest.

It is reported that Salah still wants to stay in Europe, which could be an option for PSG.

The former Chelsea forward guarantees goals and assists like Mbappe and could lead them to their first UEFA Champions League triumph.

Mohammed Kudus

The Ghanaian international is currently having a good season with Premier League side West Ham, with fans and football pundits clamouring for him to move to a top club in the summer.

Kudus is also a young pacy forward who could be a replacement for the French forward as he can play across all the positions upfront and play behind a striker.

Manchester City want Mbappe

Sports Brief earlier reported that Manchester City will be bidding for Mbappe alongside Real Madrid.

The Cityzens have reportedly met with the player's representatives in a bid to convince him to dump his dream and move to England.

Mbappe has in the past hailed Manchester City's rivals, Liverpool, as his favourite club in England, but nothing is set in stone.
