Paris Saint-Germain is making headlines in the transfer market as they prepare for a potential replacement for Kylian Mbappé. The French champions are reportedly eyeing Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford as a key target to fill Mbappé's shoes. With the star forward set to depart PSG at the end of the season, the club is said to have a significant budget of £171 million to secure a new attacking option.

PSG's football adviser, Luis Campos, is rumored to be a long-time admirer of England international Rashford. The 24-year-old forward has faced criticism for his on and off-field performances at Old Trafford, leading to speculation about a potential summer move. Despite Rashford's struggles this season, PSG sees him as a versatile option who could offer similar qualities to Mbappé in the forward line.

Chelsea is also making waves in the transfer market, with reports suggesting that the club is evaluating the future of midfielder Conor Gallagher.
