PSG are interested in the services of 27-year-old Liverpool star Luis Diaz as they look for a Kylian Mbappe replacement.
According to a report by RMC Sport, Paris Saint-Germain are on the lookout for players to help them cope with the loss of Kylian Mbappe, who will be leaving at the end of the season. Liverpool’s Luiz Diaz is one of the names on their radar, and the French giants could push for the services of the 27-year-old to help bolster their wide areas.
Kylian Mbappe’s impending departure
Mbappe’s future was the talk of the town throughout the first half of the season. The French club tried everything in their power to extend his stay, but it was pretty clear that he had other ideas. The former AS Monaco star has decided to join Real Madrid after he made it clear that he will leave after the season comes to an end.
PSG manager Luis Enrique has already started planning for life without the French World Cup winner. Mbappe’s game time has gone down in the recent months as Enrique prepares others around him. Meanwhile, the PSG already have an idea of how they are looking to replace him.
The French club are looking to bring in a world-class defender, and midfielder as well as a new forward. They are well aware of the fact that finding a like-for-like replacement for Mbappe is impossible. As a result, they are looking to level up the entire squad.
PSG interested in Luis Diaz
In attack they are not looking for a new number nine, they want someone who can bolster the flanks and Luis Diaz is one of the names on their radar. The 27-year-old who arrived at Anfield for a fee of €45 million back in 2022 from FC Porto is a player that people at the French club like.
Diaz has been in sensational form this season, he has scored 11 goals and has five assists to his name. While he remains integral to Liverpool’s plans and has over three years left on his deal, PSG could still make a move in the summer.
PSG’s former Sporting director Antero Henrique is the one who has put forward the name of the 27-year-old. He is currently the director of sports at Qatar Sports League. His proximity to Qatari leaders and other powerful figures are reasons why he is still influential.
Despite Henrique pushing for a deal, not everyone at the club thinks along the same line. As a result, the Liverpool attacking mainstay is another name on their radar and nothing is certain yet.
