Paris Saint-Germain will need to make a big splash in the transfer market next summer with a world-class attacker to compensate for the potential departure of Kylian Mbappé, who is closer than ever to Real Madrid.

AC Milan are monitoring Zirkzee and David
AC Milan’s priority is Joshua Zirkzee, who has scored 9 goals and provided 6 assists since the beginning of the season at Bologna under the orders of Thiago Motta. Another player is being monitored by AC Milan and in this case, it is a player very well known in Ligue 1 since it is Jonathan David who pleases the Milanese leaders, but more to prepare for the succession of Olivier Giroud than that of Rafael Leao.
In any case, AC Milan are well aware that a departure of Rafael Leao this summer is very likely and for the Lombard club, there is no question of being caught off guard next summer. This is why the big maneuvers have already started…
