The biggest star has gone and left an empty space in the squad. Now, Paris Saint-Germain need to bring in another world-class player to fill in the gap Kylian Mbappe has made after joining Real Madrid. Half of July is already behind us, and the Saints signed only the backup goalkeeper Matvei Safonov. Too unpretentious for a team which has been eyeing the Champions League trophy for 13 years. The club’s primary targets are Victor Osimhen and Joao Neves, and even though both players are willing to move to Paris, both deals are far from done.🚨👉 Once Leny Yoro all of Manchester United’s focus will be on Ugarte.#PSG could use funds from a sale for Joao Neves/Osimhen.#MUFC clear favourite for Ugarte.

Although the Italian media recently announced that Aurelio De Laurentiis is ready to compromise and won’t demand the total amount of the Nigerian’s release clause worth 120 million euros, now it seems that it won’t be the case. Hence, Paris Saint-Germain need a total of 190 million euros to fulfil their two biggest wishes and already have a plan for how to get the money – sell Manuel Ugarte to Man United.Auba sets on a new adventure, Greenwood to replace the Gabonese at the VelodromeThe most interesting thing about the whole situation is that the Red Devils would like to bring the Urugayan on a one-year loan with a buyout clause. On the other hand, the Saints want to use United’s keenness to sign the midfielder and persuade the English side to purchase Ugarte. PSG could then use that money to buy Osimhen and complete a “transfer puzzle” perfectly, with Ugarte’s selling as a missing part. Namely, the French currently have 140 million euros, half of which is supposed to be spent on Neves’ arrival. Since De Laurentiis demands 120 million, Paris Saint-Germain are missing 50 million – the exact amount Man United have to pay for the 23-year-old Uruguayan midfielder.Tell no one… One European giant wants us both!None of this would’ve happened if the Saints had sold Mbappe a year or two ago and thus got at least some money from the Frenchman’s transfer. However, they chose the other path in Paris, wanting to hold the reins and show their power by not letting the player leave before his contract expires. Now, they’ll have a high price to pay. In the current transfer window, PSG only earned from Hugo Ekitike’s selling to Eintracht Frankfurt for 16.5 million euros. So far, the Saints’ transfer activity doesn’t indicate that we’re talking about one of the wealthiest clubs in the world.##NAJAVA_MECA_8215778##
