Five. They are already five players to have signed at Paris Saint-Germain this summer, and it may not be over: the French champions are looking for an additional centre-forward. And this, whether Kylian Mbappé stays or not. If the captain of the France team leaves, it seems certain that PSG and its bailed-out coffers will compensate for his departure. With who ? Non-exhaustive list of potential customers.
Club: Napoli Age: 24 End of contract: 2025 Market value: €120m (according to specialist site Transfermarkt)
Already, in March, RMC Sport spoke of Victor Osimhen as a “priority” for PSG. But the Nigerian center-forward is unthinkable without a departure from Mbappé. Naples, Italian champion largely thanks to him, would have set its price at 180 M€. The former Lille resident continues to declare his love to the city and to the supporters. A racy scorer with character, he would be a recruit of choice for Paris.
Club: Tottenham Age: 29 End of contract: 2024 Market value: €90m
Harry Kane wants to leave Tottenham and he no longer hides it too much. Top scorer in the history of England and Spurs, he has … zero trophies. An incongruity for this center forward with the qualities of N.10, as killer as he is altruistic. PSG seems to be in retreat in this case where Bayern Munich has made two offers, the last of which is €80 million. Tottenham should refuse it, even if it means risking a free departure from their jewel in a year. Kane at PSG, it would however be an opportunity for the Englishman to finally reign over Europe, far from the London slump.

Club: Eintracht Frankfurt Age: 24 End of contract: 2027 Market value: €80m
If Kylian Mbappé is a child of Bondy, Randal Kolo Muani was born in the city of Lyon. His performances burned the retina in Frankfurt, for his first season in Germany (46 matches, 23 goals, 14 assists). He had never tasted Les Bleus a year ago and played 79 minutes in the 2022 World Cup final. , seduced. Frankfurt would ask for at least 70 M€. According to L’Équipe, Kolo Muani has a soft spot for the Premier League but is not insensitive to PSG.
Club: Juventus Turin Age: 23 End of contract: 2026 Market value: €70m
We learned on Monday that Dusan Vlahovic is also one of the center forwards considered by the capital club. Compared to Zlatan Ibrahimovic or Erling Haaland, the tall Serb (1.90 m) is not up to the 80 M€ invested by Juve on him, in January 2022. The context in Turin has not always helped. In an offensive team and with a Neymar to serve him, Vlahovic could take a step forward. But he offers fewer guarantees than Kane or Osimhen.
Club: Bayern Munich Age: 31 End of contract: 2025 Market value: €25m
The rumor persists in Spain and Germany: Bayern Munich would not retain Sadio Mané, who has somewhat disappointed in his first season in Bavaria. And PSG would be attentive. The risk ? Let the decline quickly point the tip of its nose. The advantage? The Senegalese, 2nd in the Ballon d’Or 2022, is a man turned to the team. He knew how to live with Mohamed Salah in Liverpool. He can score and make score, play on one side or take the axis. And he wouldn’t be the most expensive player on the list.
Club: Chelsea Age: 30 End of contract: 2026 Market value: €40m
If Vlahovic is up for relaunch, what about Romelu Lukaku? Monstrous at Inter Milan (2019-21), he flopped at Chelsea, who bought him for 113 M€. He is coming out of a gloomy season on loan at Inter, where he would like to continue. Chelsea no longer want to lend him and are asking for €40m, according to Gazzetta dello Sport. The rating could drop over the summer. Captain of Belgium, Lukaku would be vengeful in Paris. He knows how to blend into different patterns. It is above all a matter of trust.
Club: Benfica Age: 22 End of contract: 2025 Market value: €50m
Revelation of Benfica and the Portuguese selection, Gonçalo Ramos has seen his name associated with many major European clubs. Including PSG, as revealed by the daily A Bola. Versatile, skilful in the area, Ramos has everything the young striker promises to dominate in a year or two. Manchester United are also said to be watching him closely. The SLB should not let go for less than 80 M€.
Club: ex-MarseilleAge: 34
Admittedly, the probability is low, if not non-existent. After a year at Olympique de Marseille, Alexis Sanchez would like to join again, but the talks are stuck at the salary level. In Paris, that wouldn’t be a problem. The Chilean, solid in L1, kept up the pace from start to finish. It wouldn’t stain. From there to being a starter to win the Champions League? A bit fair on paper, especially after a Messi-Mbappé-Neymar trio. The former Barcelona player might prefer a key player role, at OM or elsewhere.
