Kylian Mbappe, a highly talented and dynamic player, is currently one of the best players in the world. His lethal blend of speed, agility, and goal-scoring prowess sets him apart from other great players. He has been in firing form this season, scoring half the goals for his team.
Recently, Mbappe dropped a bombshell of news that he will be leaving PSG at the end of the season. Since then, many clubs have lined up like sharks for Mbappe. Meanwhile, PSG has been monitoring potential replacements for the Frenchmen, ultimately landing on one of the prominent players at Barcelona.
Barcelona reportedly reject €200m PSG bid for Kylian Mbappe’s replacement
PSG has been actively seeking a successor to Kylian Mbappe for a while now. Initially, they set their eyes on the Barcelona gem Gavi, only to be turned down by Barcelona. However, they didn’t give up, as now they have shifted their attention to another La Masia product, Lamine Yamal.

Unfortunately, Barcelona has once again turned down the lucrative offer but this time for Yamal. Reports suggest that Barcelona has rejected a €200 million bid from PSG for Yamal. The 16-year-old Barcelona player has been dropping masterclass performances since his debut and has now become one of the best players in Barcelona.
PSG is well aware of the financial state of Barcelona. The Spanish club has to offload some big names in order to maintain the 1:1 financial rule. Even after that, the world saw Barcelona reject the €200 million offer, which certainly could have made Barcelona’s financial situation better.
Apart from Yamal, Barcelona star Gavi was also targeted by the French team. However, the Barcelona president ruled out any transfer discussions involving Gavi as they see him as an integral part of Barcelona.
Potential replacements for Kylian Mbappe
Players such as Gavi and Yamal are the newest additions to the list of players who might have replaced Kylian Mbappe. However, facing rejection from both players, PSG is now forced to shift its focus to other targets around the world.
One of the most prominent targets for PSG is the Manchester United winger, Marcus Rashford. The Englishman has been linked to PSG for quite a while. With imminent departure of Mbappe, PSG might go all in for the 26 year old forward who is recently reported to be contemplating a move away from Manchester United.
PSG have their eyes on yet another young, dynamic player. The Portuguese star of AC Milan, Rafael Leao, has been arguably one of the best wingers in the world. As per reports, PSG advisor has expressed his desire to bring the 24 year Portuguese to the biggest club in France.
In addition to Marcus Rashford and Rafael Leao, there’s another player who is regarded as a great prospect who might fill the shoes of Mbappe. The PSG loanee Xavi Simons, who is currently playing for RB Leipzig, has been in an outstanding form for the German side, providing the most assist for the team.
With reports suggesting that Mbappe is likely to join Madrid in the summer, it would be intriguing for the PSG fans and the whole world on which player will be brought in to fill the shoes of Mbappe.
