Paris Saint-Germain ‘add Liverpool’s Luis Diaz to list of Kylian Mbappe replacements’

Paris Saint-Germain reportedly add Liverpool’s Luis Diaz to a list of potential replacements for out-of-contract forward Kylian Mbappe.

Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly identified Liverpool forward Luis Diaz as a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappe.
The Frenchman is set to leave PSG at the end of the season after informing the club that he will not be extending his stay at the Parc des Princes.

As a result, Mbappe will become a free agent this summer, and he is widely expected to complete a move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.

Despite being in his final season with the French giants, Mbappe has continued to be an integral part of their attacking efforts, having scored 34 goals in 35 appearances this season.

With PSG set to lose their talisman at the end of the campaign, they are scouring the market for potential candidates to fill the void that will be left by Mbappe’s departure.

The Ligue 1 champions are believed to be preparing to reignite their interest in Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford after previously being linked with a move for the England international in the summer of 2022.

While Rashford appears to be on PSG’s radar, El Pais are reporting that Diaz is also under consideration as a possible transfer target.

The report indicates that PSG are one of a number of clubs that could try to tempt Diaz away from Anfield at the end of the season.

AC Milan are believed to be keeping tabs on the forward, while Barcelona are also showing an interest ahead of the summer transfer window.

There is a suggestion that Liverpool could look to sell Diaz to help raise funds to be used to help tie down Mohamed Salah and Virgil Van Dijk to new contracts.

However, the Reds are under no pressure to part ways with the 27-year-old, who has a contract with the Merseyside club until the summer of 2027.

The Colombia international has made 38 competitive appearances this season, scoring 11 goals and providing five assists.

Diaz is currently a regular fixture in Jurgen Klopp’s side, having started 14 of Liverpool’s last 16 matches in all competitons.
