PSG looking to sign Liverpool foward Mo Salah as Mbappe replacement

Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly plotting a move for Liverpool star Mohamed Salah as the owners eye a Galactico signing after losing Kylian Mbappe.

After the departures of high-profile players such as Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe, PSG’s owners are determined to bring in a marquee signing, with Salah being the prime target, as reported by The Sun. With Salah’s contract at Liverpool nearing its expiration, the French club are preparing to make a serious offer for the Egyptian forward, who they believe can still perform at the highest level for at least three more years.

While Salah has attracted interest from several clubs including those in the Saudi Pro League, the report mentions that he is not inclined to move to the Middle East at this stage in his career. His preference is to continue playing at an elite level in Europe, and PSG are looking to capitalize on this opportunity by offering him a three-year deal to bolster their attack.

PSG’s ownership, led by Qatar Sports Investments, is under increasing pressure to make a significant signing after losing some of the club’s biggest stars, including Messi and Neymar, over the past few years. The departure of Mbappe, in particular, has left a gap in their forward line that they are keen to fill with a player of Salah’s calibre. Following PSG’s underwhelming 2-0 defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates, the French side’s ownership is looking to make immediate improvements to their squad to maintain their domestic dominance and enhance their chances of success in the Champions League.

Losing Salah would be a massive blow to Liverpool as his departure would leave a void difficult to fill, both on the pitch and in terms of leadership. He will be next in action against Crystal Palace on Saturday in the Premier League.
