Paris Saint-Germain, in all fairness, showed cent percent dedication towards Kylian Mbappe. The club was ready to leave no stone unturned to keep the star by altering their gameplay and letting go of players like Neymar and Lionel Messi, etc. But now, after Mbappe’s upcoming exit, the club has to look for vicarious players, which they have seemed to get in last year’s treble-winning superstar.
Manchester City has already freed some crucial players, like Ilkay Gündogan and Aymeric Laporte. The club is now feeling the pinch after a few hiccups in the results recently. The club retained the player under target despite previous interest from PSG. Would they be ready to roll the dice this time?

The Paris-based club has been quite successful in the country, but since coming to Europe, it has only seen setbacks. Hence, in pursuit of their first UEFA Champions League title, PSG is reportedly interested in Bernardo Silva. The player already showed signs of pursuing newer horizons last year when he was almost about to join Kylian Mbappe. However, the club from Paris seems keen on signing the midfielder, which could lead them to another attempt in this summer transfer window.

Last year, Pep Guardiola denied Bernardo Silva at the last moment to PSG as he lost Riyadh Mahrez to the Saudi Pro League. The 29-year-old worked with the sporting director of PSG, Luis Campos, at AS Monaco, who admires the midfielder. Known for his fine dribbling and creative goals, Silva can be one of their main attackers. The player can take the right wing while shifting Dembele to the left, replacing Mbappe.
Meanwhile, Kylian Mbappe has finally announced that he will leave the club in the summer. The player is most likely to land in Santiago Bernabeu as a free agent. PSG’s all-time top scorer with 243 goals will leave a huge void after winning five league titles apart from leading them to their maiden UCL final. Despite earning $215 million annually in Paris, the talisman chose a new destination. But the club’s new coach, Luis Enrique, is not alarmed by the situation, saying, “the team is above all individuality,” with other available choices.

PSG had already gone berserk last window, spending $376 million. They signed many players, including Ousmane Dembélé, Lucas Hernández, Randal Kolo Muani, and Manuel Ugarte. Nevertheless, it hopes to gain Silva, whose exit clause is reportedly $61.8 million and whose contract runs until 2026. But only time will reveal if Guardiola lets him loose.
