Martinelli, Salah, Rashford, Other Players On PSG Radar To Replace Messi

The French club has been linked with the most exciting players in the world and could now be weighing up a big move amid Messi’s potential exit.

Below are players who could replace Messi at PSG

Gabriel Martinelli

Martinelli has really improved and has become an integral part f Arsenal’s first team.  The Brazilian become a far more effective and consistent player in this campaign.

While PSG tends to sign the more established names, a move for Martinelli could help reduce the risk of further destabilizing the dressing room.

The club has been plagued all season with rumors of a rift between Kylian Mbappe and Neymar and signing another big name could potentially contribute to the unease.

Rafael Leao

Rafael Leao is one of the hottest stars in the world at the moment and the fight to land his signature will only intensify.

The attacker was key in AC Milan’s title triumph last season and has kept that irresistible form up this season.

Chelsea are known to be well in the hunt for the 23-year-old but reports earlier this month indicate they could have big competition.

PSG are believed to have identified him as a potential replacement for Messi or Mbappe and are monitoring him.

Marcus Rashford

The return to form of Marcus Rashford could reignite rumors of the forward completing an incredible switch to France.

The home-grown Manchester United hero has long been of interest to PSG, with reports even indicating that Mbappe was personally keen on Rashford joining.

With a new manager to keep impressing and his World Cup place in the balance, the 25-year-old has plenty of other things on his plate.

But whether he could resist a huge January move to play alongside the likes of Mbappe remains to be seen.

Mohamed Salah

The Liverpool star has been for many years one of the most consistent and dangerous forwards in Europe.

While the 30-year-old signed a big-money contract extension in the summer to strengthen Liverpool’s position, PSG have financial muscle few can match.

The Reds also showed with the departure of Sadio Mane last summer that they are willing to listen to offers for even their biggest stars.

And PSG has been reported as being very interested in the Egyptian forward previously.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang

The 33-year-old striker represents a different option for the Parisian club. While the others on this list are either at the peak of their powers, in great form or over-performing at a young age, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang would be more of a safe pair of hands.

The Gabon striker has moved to Barcelona and Chelsea this year and managed to make an impact with his goalscoring abilities on both occasions. According to a report by ESN, PSG has been eyeing him recently.

Aubameyang could present a short-term option if the others don’t work out also having previously worked with the PSG boss Christophe Galtier at Saint Etienne together 10 years ago this could facilitate the transfer if need be.
