Shock Transfer Rumor: PSG Eye Former Arsenal Star as Mbappe Replacement
In a stunning twist, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are reportedly eyeing former Arsenal winger Serge Gnabry as a potential replacement for the departing Kylian Mbappe. Could this spell the end of an era for the French giants?
According to reports from SPORTBILD, PSG are turning their attention to Gnabry as Mbappe looks set to make a move to Real Madrid once his contract expires.
PSG are willing to sign Serge Gnabry if Mbappe Leaves
The departure of PSG’s all-time leading goalscorer leaves a massive void to fill, and Luis Enrique’s side is wasting no time in seeking a worthy successor.
Gnabry, currently plying his trade at Bayern Munich, is emerging as PSG’s top target. Despite injury setbacks this season, the 28-year-old has proven his worth with an impressive track record, boasting 82 goals and 51 assists in 229 appearances across competitions for the Bavarian giants.
With just over two years left on his contract at Bayern, Gnabry could command a hefty fee, with Transfermarkt valuing him at €45 million.
PSG are reportedly willing to invest in the German international as they seek to maintain their dominance in Ligue 1 and make a statement in European competitions.
Meanwhile, Mbappe’s potential move to Real Madrid has been a saga in itself, with the French superstar reportedly turning down a move in 2022 but now poised to make the switch in the upcoming summer.
Speculation was rife over Mbappe’s Premier League preferences, with Arsenal emerging as a surprising contender due to the player’s admiration for Mikel Arteta’s project.
