PSG to sign Lewandowski, Haaland, or Richarlison to replace Mbappe

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) could try to sign Robert Lewandowski of Bayern Munich, Erling Haaland of Borussia Dortmund, or Richarlison of Everton to replace Kylian Mbappe.

According to ESPN, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) may try to sign Bayern Munich's Robert Lewandowski, Borussia Dortmund's Erling Haaland, or Everton's Richarlison to replace Kylian Mbappe, who is being pursued by Real Madrid.

The French club has not yet agreed to Real Madrid's 180-million-euro (about $212.3 million) bid for Mbappe, but talks are said to have continued on Friday. Though Real's new offer is unlikely to dissuade PSG, the French club is also not particularly committed to keeping Mbappe in their squad, especially since Mbappe's current deal expires in a year.

Meanwhile, ESPN has revealed that Lewandowski's agent Pini Zahavi was in Paris on Monday, recommending his client to PSG. The Polish striker scored 48 goals in 40 games for Bayern last season. In fact, he's never had fewer than 40 goals in any of the past six seasons with the German giants, winning seven Bundesliga titles, three DFB-Pokal championships, five DFL-Supercup titles, one UEFA Champions League trophy, one UEFA Super Cup title, and one FIFA Club World Cup championship for Bayern.

Richarlison of Everton

Lewandowski is reportedly looking for a new challenge after his glorious career in Bayern. He still has two years left of his current deal with the German club and it will definitely take a generous offer to convince Bayern to let him go.

Haaland, 21, has been another popular target on the transfer market. He scored 41 goals in 41 appearances for Dortmund last season. There is a 75-million-euro (about $88.5 million) release clause in his current contract with the club and it will come into effect next year. If PSG wants to land Haaland in 2021, they may need to offer Dortmund 200 million euros (about $236 million), which is reportedly the price they want for Mbappe.

Haaland's agent Mino Raiola has worked with PSG's sporting director Leonardo to bring Gianluigi Donnarumma from AC Milan to PSG for free this summer.

Mauricio Pochettino, the manager of Paris Saint-Germain, is a major supporter of Brazilian forward Richarlison, who scored 13 goals in 40 games for Everton the previous season. Richarlison may not be as prolific a scorer as Lewandowski or Haaland, but he may form an outstanding partnership with Lionel Messi and his national team teammate Neymar.

Everton manager Rafael Benitez stated recently in a press conference that Richarlison will not be allowed to leave this summer. Will a 100 million euro (about $118 million) offer persuade him and the club's top brass to change their minds?
