Although Real Madrid are seeking a free transfer deal for Mbappé, nothing has been confirmed at the start of 2024. If the expected move does materialise, PSG will waste no time in looking for a superstar to fill the void left by Mbappé. In this scenario, AC Milan attacker Rafael Leao emerges as the top target, backed by ESPN. With a contract running until 2028, AC Milan would demand the full €175m termination clause for Leao. The Portuguese player has excelled at AC Milan, establishing himself as a promising talent.

PSG coach Luis Enrique has expressed an interest in having Leao as a replacement for Mbappé. Leao's speed and technical quality make him an attractive candidate for the Parisian side, who are looking to remain competitive in the elite of European football. Although Mbappé's future is not yet confirmed, PSG are preparing for all eventualities, ensuring that the star striker's departure does not significantly affect the team's performance. The possible arrival of Rafael Leao would be a statement of intent.
