Kylian Mbappe looks almost destined to leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season and join Real Madrid on a free transfer. For years now, it was almost certain that he is Real Madrid bound and it was a matter of when and not if.

The Frenchman almost joined Los Blancos in 2022 but had a change of heart very late. He ended up staying at the Parc des Princes by signing a new deal and that deal expired this summer.

Mbappe made it abundantly clear to PSG at the start of the season that he will not sign a new deal. Reports claim that the Frenchman has already agreed a move to Real Madrid on a free transfer. Replacing arguably the best in player in the world right now will be an almost impossible task for PSG. Here, we will take a look at three players they could turn to to replace the France skipper.

Victor Osimhen

Victor Osimhen has been widely linked with an exit from Napoli in recent times with a move to Premier League potentially on the cards. The Nigeria international has a long list of suitors hit on his tail but PSG could blow them out of water if they want. A lethal finisher, Osimhen is not quite similar to Mbappe in terms of profile but he can definitely contribute with a lot of goals if he is signed by PSG.

Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah might be in his thirties but remains one of the best players in the world. The Egyptian has his deal with Liverpool expiring in the summer of 2025 and could reportedly consider his options with Jurgen Klopp leaving in the summer.

Salah has been the subject of interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia and the only European club who can compete with the finances of the Saudi Pro League sides is PSG, especially if they lose Mbappe. Salah would be a like for like replacement for Mbappe although not a long-term one.

Rafael Leao

Rafael Leao has been widely linked with an exit from AC Milan in recent times but a move is yet to materialize. The Portuguese international is a gifted winger who can create and score plenty of goals and is entering his prime. He is almost of the same age as Mbappe and could be the ideal replacement for the French superstar at the Parc des Princes.
