For some time now, newspapers, TV shows and social media have been flooded with rumors and speculation about the future of Kylian Mbappé. He has repeated on more than one occasion that he has not yet made a decision on what he will do once the season ends, but that moment is getting closer and closer and the parties involved are very anxious.

Real Madrid fear that the same thing will happen as in 2022, when they seemed to have agreed to sign the striker and he finally decided to renew his contract at Paris Saint-Germain. That is why they are rumored to be analyzing other alternatives such as Erling Haaland, Victor Osimhen and Lautaro Martinez. And Liverpool are also waiting, as Mohamed Salah is likely to leave for Saudi Arabia at the end of this season and they will need a replacement.

But undoubtedly those who are in a more uncomfortable situation are PSG. They depend on Mbappé on the field to fulfill their goals of winning Ligue 1 and competing in the Champions League. So if they are not going to be able to count on him next season, they need to know as soon as possible. While club owner Nasser Al-Khelaifi has been quiet on the issue, he is reportedly preparing a plan B.

According to Telefoot, the French side have targeted Rafael Leao as a priority for the summer transfer window. He is one of the stars of Italy's Serie A and his performances with AC Milan have attracted the attention of several European giants, such as Newcastle. Moreover, PSG sporting director Luis Campos knows him well, as he was the one who decided to sign the Portuguese winger for Lille in 2018, when he was playing for Sporting Lisbon.

He is worth a fortune

AC Milan know they have one of the most coveted forwards in Europe and will not let him go easily. Although the specialized website Transfermarkt rates Rafael Leao at almost $100 million, his exit clause from the Italian side is much higher. According to AS, the amount PSG will need to buy him is $190 million.
