Victor Osimén, Kolo Muani and Rafael Leao are on the list of PSG players

Paris Saint-Germain must make plans without Messi from next season.

Top of Ligue 1, the team from Parc des Princes can only console themselves with a league win this season after being relegated from the Coupe de France and the UEFA Champions League.

The problems for the French are even greater as Lionel Messi is not set to extend his deal, which expires this summer.

The Parisians now need to find a solution to replace the absence of Lionel Messi, and the club’s management has already drawn up a list of 3 top footballers who are expected to come to France.

Journalists from Mundo Deportivo write that PSG have their eye on Victor Osimene (Napoli), Kolo Muani (Eintracht Frankfurt) and Rafael Leao (Milan).

However, the Osimian version is impossible. First of all, because the deal will cost PSG more than 120 million euros.

The Serie A goalscorer is also heavily sought after by Manchester United, who are looking for a striker to fill the void left by Cristiano Ronaldo.

Kolo Mouani would be the second option found by Paris Saint-Germain officials.

The 24-year-old Eintracht player had a decent season. The Frenchman has 21 goals and 15 assists in 41 appearances for the Germans and his numbers are making him increasingly difficult to keep in the Bundesliga.

Kolo Mouani is currently valued at €65 million according to Transfermarkt and would be a perfect fit for PSG’s attacking line. It could be used on both lanes, but also on the top rack.

His contract runs until the summer of 2027, and it is not yet known how long the Germans will be willing to part with him.

The third option found by Paris Saint-Germain would be Rafael Leao, the AC Milan player who is in talks with the Serie A club about extending his contract.

If Leao signs a new contract with Milan, it means that the Lusitanian will have another release clause.

Luis Campos, the current sporting director of Paris Saint-Germain, brought Rafael Leao to Lille in 2018, so the Portuguese had the chance to come to the Parc des Princes for the right price.
