Paris Saint-Germain will not prioritise a move for Rafael Leao this summer and will instead focus on other targets for the attack, according to a report.
PSG have been linked with the 24-year-old winger over the past few weeks given that they are increasingly likely to lose Kylian Mbappe on a free transfer with Real Madrid his expected destination.
Reports in both the French and the Italian press have named the Ligue 1 champions as being concrete suitors for Leao, who continues to be the driving force of Milan’s attack.
However, according to Le Figaro (via Calciomercato.com), PSG will give priority to making a big splash in midfield and while they will sign a winger, they are not going to offer the amount that Milan want for Leao.
The Parisians will not go all-in for the former Lille man or for Napoli’s Victor Osimhen. Both are welcome profiles, but for different reasons – mainly economic given the Financial Fair Play factor – they seem unrealistic targets.
Losing one of the world’s best players in Mbappe on a free transfer certainly doesn’t help, because they are missing out on a potentially huge sum which could then be reinvested into different areas of the squad.
