Paris Saint-Germain lining up stunning £175m Erling Haaland transfer to link up Man City sensation with Kylian Mbappe | The Sun

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN are plotting an ambitious £175million move for Erling Haaland, according to reports.

The French champions were dumped out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich earlier this week.

In the aftermath of their latest European disappointment, PSG chiefs are plotting a rebuild ahead of next season.

It's claimed that they could move on from Neymar and Lionel Messi – with the latter still being linked with Inter Miami despite PSG contract talks.

In their bid to re-tool around Kylian Mbappe, they could turn to Haaland.

According to French reporter Daniel Riolo, PSG could "begin a new story" around Mbappe and City's Norwegian striker.

Chatting to Football.fr, he admitted that there are doubts around whether City's Abu Dhabi ownership would sell to PSG's Qatari chiefs.

But the French side could navigate this potential problem by simply forking out Haaland's release clause, believed to be around £175m.

PSG boss Christophe Galtier's job is hanging by a thread after his side's 3-0 aggregate defeat to Bayern Munich.

Riolo reckons that the Ligue 1 table-toppers could appease Mbappe by appointing Zinedine Zidane this summer, despite the Real Madrid legend's affinity for fierce rivals Marseille.

To team Mbappe and Haaland up, PSG would have to sell a number of players in order to comply with financial fair play.

They could face competition from Real Madrid for Haaland's signature.

The LaLiga champions are enamoured with the Norwegian and could launch a bid this summer, despite previously having been expected to wait until 2024.

Madrid chiefs are building the best young core in Europe, with Vinicius Jr, Eduardo Camavinga, Fede Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni and Endrick.

And in a further enticing factor to Haaland they are determined to add his old Borussia Dortmund pal Jude Bellingham to an already stacked midfield.

L'Equipe claim that, in addition to Haaland, PSG football advisor Luis Campos is interested in a trio of attacking stars.

They report that the French giants could move for Manchester City star Bernardo Silva, his Portugal team-mate Goncalo Ramos and Napoli sensation Victor Osimhen.
