Paris Saint-Germain are already preparing to reshuffle their squad for the summer transfer window after the disappointment of being knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich.

Rafael Leao, the perfect replacement for Leo Messi

The Parisian team is trying several shots in the transfer market, and the striker Rafael Leao from Milan is leading the list, writes Fichajes.net.

The Portuguese is considered an ideal replacement for Messi, whose contract with PSG expires in the summer and he has no intention of renewing it.

The possible departure of the Argentine captain will force the club to bring in a new star to form the main attacking trident alongside Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.

Rafael Leao is out of contract in the summer of 2024 and has yet to agree an extension, with a release clause of €120 million.

Due to his contract situation, Milan may be forced to sell him for less than losing him for free after a year.

A key figure in this transfer is Luis Campos, the French’s sporting director, who worked with Rafael Leao when both were at Lille.
