Paris Saint-Germain set to punish Manchester United over Kylian Mbappe transfer

Paris Saint-Germain are set to punish Manchester United over Kylian Mbappe transfer. The report reaching National Daily can confirm that the Ligue 1 giants have already begun working on a succession plan for life after the forward. And it has been further reported that PSG are set to raid United this summer.

The 25-year-old France international informed his club’s hierarchy last week that he would not be triggering a one-year extension on his current deal and will instead leave on a free transfer at the end of the season.

Although PSG will not receive any fee for Mbappe, they stand to save around €200million (£171m) in the shape of the striker’s mammoth salary. Mbappe has been reported to earn the biggest salary in the world football.

According to the claim by The Times, PSG intend to reinvest all of that on new attackers. The report further suggests that the French giants are ready to reignite their long-standing interest in Rashford.

The Englishman has been on the radar of PSG for a number of years and they most recently tried to lure him to the Parc des Princes at the backend of 2022. This was when Rashford was about to enter the final six months of his contract.

United had triggered a one-year extension afterwards and he has since signed a new deal that keeps him at Old Trafford until 2028.
