There are just a few days left
until the transfer
market in France closes, and Real Madrid
has not yet given up
on the hiring of Kylian Mbappé.
In the last hours, Paris Saint-Germain rejected an offer from the
Merengue
club
of around
160 million euros
for the record of the world champion attacker with his team in Russia 2018.
Leonardo, PSG's sporting director, spoke about the offer, saying the following: “We consider that the offer is not enough.
It is less than what we paid for it
, but this goes beyond that ”.
Mbappé arrived at PSG at the end of 2017, coming from Monaco and
in exchange for more than 180 million
euros.

In Paris they
intuit
that sooner or later Mbappé will
end up defending the Real Madrid shirt
, and for the same reason, they are already thinking about possible replacements for the attacker.
This hypothetical player would not necessarily be a forward, since PSG could take advantage of the income to reinforce another sector of the field.
The Haaland option
One of the options being considered in Paris is Erling Haaland, a Norwegian striker who works for Borussia Dortmund.
Haaland is one of the most valued attackers in the world, and there
are several teams that are watching his future.

In case of looking for the Norwegian, PSG will have to pay a significant amount of money, since Haaland
aims to be the highest paid player in the world
.
In fact, Chelsea sought to stay with the forward just a few months ago, and as specified by some media, the Norwegian
asked to collect more than 50 million
euros per season.
Haaland has a contract with Dortmund
until mid-2024,
but with a very low clause (between 75 and 90 million) that is activated next year.
Everything seems to indicate that sooner or later he will abandon German football in search of a more competitive team.
If something is certain, it is that when he arrives at the Norwegian that day he will not be short of offers, and PSG
is one of those clubs that can afford the expenses
required for a transfer of this relevance.
The Pogba option
Another of those who could arrive at the Parisian team is the French Paul Pogba, who currently defends the colors of Manchester United.
The midfielder has been in the Premier League since 2016, and has already played
more than 200 games
with the
Red Devils
jersey
.
Pogba came to Manchester
for more than 100 million euros
, in what was one of the highest transfers in football history.
To this day, the Frenchman is one of the most important names in the English team, and his transfer could be for a figure close to 60 million euros.

It should be remembered that the native of Lagny-sur-Marne has a contract that binds him to Manchester
until June of next year
, and just as several media affirm that he is negotiating with the leadership to be able to renew his link, others affirm that he is determined to do not renew to leave for free and they even specify their destination: Real Madrid.
The Camavinga option

is the youngest among the names that shuffles the Paris Saint Germain, and it is the only one currently serving in Ligue 1. midfielder born in Angola stands today at the

, one of the teams that gave the surprise during the last season of French football.

Camavinga
is 18 years old
, and his transfer could take place even if Mbappé continues in Paris.
The French national does not have a termination clause, and his arrival could cost approximately
30 million euros
, an accessible figure taking into account the numbers handled by the other possible reinforcements.
The Lewandowski option
Perhaps the least affordable option that PSG manages today is that of Robert Lewandowski.
The name of the Bayern Munich forward began to ring in Paris in recent days, but his arrival could be complicated, as the Teutonic team
valued him at 110 million euros
, a value perhaps exaggerated for potential suitors considering that the Pole is already
33 years old.
Lewandowski came to Bayern in 2014 in exchange for 50 million euros, and since then he has paid handsomely.
The Warsaw-born player played
332 games
with Bayern Munich
and scored 298 goals
, and also won 18 titles with the German institution.

Although names continue to be added to this list, and there was even talk of Cristiano Ronaldo, the priority of Paris Saint Germain, first of all,
would be to retain Mbappé
.
The Frenchman still has a one-year contract, and although for now he refuses to renew the link, the French institution still has hopes of a possible renewal.
