PSG want Rashford to replace Mbappe

With the possibility of Mbappe exiting this summer, reports suggest PSG are already scouring the market for a replacement.

It is believed that Rashford is top on their shortlist, with the French giants reportedly training their eyes on the Manchester United star.

PSG football adviser Luis Campos is said to be a big admirer of the England international, who enjoyed a career-best run of 30 goals and 11 assists last season.

Meanwhile, Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is also said to be a target for PSG.

Goal reports that Osimhen is also a likely candidate to fill the shoes of Mbappe at Parc des Princes.
